Paris navigo public transport monthly pass to rise by 12% in 2023

THE COST WOULD HAVE INCREASED FURTHER WITHOUT STATE FUNDING. SINGLE TICKETS WILL COST €2.30 RATHER THAN €1.90 Ile-de-France has announced that the monthly cost of a Navigo public transport

pass will rise by 12% to €84.10 in January 2023. The pass currently costs €75.20 per month. The government has offered Ile-de-France Mobilités €200million in funding in a bid to limit the

price rise passed on to customers but within a context of rapid inflation the operator said that it needed €450million in order to keep running all of its services properly in 2023. Without

the state funding, Navigo pass prices would have increased by 20% to €90. The price of a single ticket will also rise to €2.30 from €1.90 in January, an increase of 10.5%. It is the weekly

Navigo pass that will see the biggest price increase at 31.6%. The cost will rise from €22.80 to €30. A booklet of 10 single tickets will be €19.10 instead of €16.90, and yearly school pupil

and student season tickets will be €365 as opposed to the current €342. The average price increase across the whole Ile-de-France ticketing system will be 11.9%, but some tickets will not

rise at all, including single tickets for specific journeys between Paris and its suburbs. Ile-de-France president “Valérie Pécresse is happy for all passengers in the capital region, that

the state has finally realised the gravity of the situation in Ile-de-France transports,” Ile-de-France Mobilités said in a statement. RELATED ARTICLES UK BORDER FORCE STRIKE, NEW AIR
