RER A&B Ticketing

Large choices of travel cards fitting different passengers’ needs

Long and short term subscriptions

For younger, schoolchildren or students: Imagine R

For commuters or frequent passengers: Pass Intégrale or Pass Navigo (1 week or 1 month subscription)

For tourists and occasional users: Paris Visite or Mobilis

Innovative technology

The Pass Navigo system

RER A&B Connection and sharing with SNCF

oTechnical: switching of

traction/voltage due to the dual modal

trains

oOperational: interchange of the

drivers

oFinancial: ticketing integration and

fare box accounting

25

Perspective and challenge

Today RER is reliable, safe

and efficient

The main difficulties come

from the growing number of

passengers and the share of

journeys

Improvement of people’s

mobility in suburbs remains

a challengePublic Transportation

Evolution of the public transport in Paris Region in 3 steps

Creating a dense metro network adapted of the needs of Paris

inhabitants

Creating and improving RER lines to transport suburb inhabitants

Connection of the different RER lines in Paris

Today, the network is no longer adapted to the

The future is to connect one suburb to another without going through
