Fare Increase for Public Transportation in Paris During the Olympic and Paralympic Games: Metro Tickets to Cost 4 Euros
During the Paris Olympics and Paralympics period, fares for public transportation within Paris will be increased.
From July 20 to September 8, metro tickets will increase from 2.1 euros for a single journey to 4 euros, and a book of 10 tickets will go from 16.9 euros to 32 euros. Train and RER tickets will be priced at 6 euros, with bus tickets at 5 euros.
As metro tickets do not have an expiration date, it is possible to purchase them before the price increase. Purchases can also be made through apps like “Transport Public Paris 2024” using a credit card, among other methods. However, this app is not available in Japanese, and if the device’s language setting is Japanese or set to follow the device’s language, some descriptions will not be displayed. The language setting can be changed within the app.
The “Passe Paris” is also being sold for tourists. Options range from 16 euros for one day to 70 euros for one week, allowing access to all competition venues and fan zones, as well as Orly and Charles de Gaulle International Airports.
Lines that are expected to be crowded include the metro lines 5/6/7/8/9/10/12/13, tram lines T3a/T3b, and train lines J (towards Ermont Eaubonne)/L (towards Versailles Rive Droite)/N/P (towards Meaux)/U. The metro and RER will see 17 stations closed from July 18 to 26 around Champs-Élysées – Clemenceau, Concorde, and Tuileries stations, which will remain closed throughout the event period.
