Public transport prices in Île-de-France will increase in 2024. However, we do not yet know how much this increase will be, which must be voted on in December.
Public transport users in Paris will have to pay more for their transport tickets in 2024. On Tuesday July 18, 2023, Île-de-France Mobilités confirmed that fares will increase next year, says AFP. The reason given is that of Ile-de-France Mobilités financing needs “, specifies the tweet of the press agency.
For the moment, we do not know what amounts will be increased for public transport tickets in Île-de-France. According to AFP, this increase will be voted on next December. Valérie Pécresse, President of the Regional Council of Île-de-France, has indicated to want ” moderate rate increases for Ile-de-France residents as much as possible “, while voting at the same time for additional tax revenue and an increase in contributions from local authorities.
Towards a monthly Navigo pass at €90?
The increase could concern bus, RER and metro tickets. What about the Navigo pass, which is the support of many packages allowing travel in Île-de-France? Remember that it allows you to load a monthly subscription currently billed at €84.10 each month. With this increase to come, some are worried to see this package approaching or reaching the symbolic bar of 90 €.
The price of the Navigo pass had already been revised upwards on January 1, 2023. Île-de-France Mobilités then justified this increase by inflation, energy costs, lines under construction and debt repayment. Covid. The price of the monthly subscription on the Navigo pass had then increased by 10%, from €75.20 to €84.10.
Despite the many advantages of the Navigo pass, we can expect that this new price increase will not excite travelers. This, while they and they are currently forced to adapt their routes this summer 2023, because of major works planned on the metro and RER lines. We also had to deal with major disruptions in Parisian transport at the start of the year – a reimbursement campaign is also being organized at the moment. The announcement of a future price increase is therefore not likely to appease Ile-de-France residents, who use public transport in the region every day.
