In order to offer tourists and sports fans the best experience during the Olympics, the Île-de-France region has just released a new app specially designed to optimize transport journeys.
No need for Google Maps or Citymapper. To guide those who are not familiar with the mazes of the Paris metro, the Île-de-France region has just released a new application specially designed for the Olympic Games. Available on Android and iOS, it will be “lthe only application to include all the sites and points of interest linked to the Paris 2024 Games», Indicates the region in a press release.
Special “Paris 2024” journeys

The software will offer you, when the time comes, the most practical route to get there as well as an alert the day before the event in the event of disruptions on the route.
If the “Paris 2024” logo is stuck everywhere in the application, the latter is in fact very largely inspired by the already existing “Bonjour RATP” app. In addition to the services traditionally offered by this type of app (purchase of tickets, consultation of routes, traffic information, etc.), Transport Public Paris 2024 includes an information hub concerning Olympic news, specific maps with the sites Olympic Games and special “Paris 2024” journeys.

The latter will in fact try to guarantee “good real-time distribution of spectators between transport lines in order to limit crowd phenomena and waiting times“. Translation, as with Google Maps, the app will not necessarily offer you the shortest or quickest route, but rather one that will save you from already crowded lines.
Obviously, the app is available in several languages (French, English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German), will offer the purchase of transport tickets (even on iPhone) and also includes specific directions and routes for people to reduced mobility. Overall, this new app does not offer essential features compared to services already on the market, it is mainly designed for tourists who do not already have such software installed on their phones.
