Towards the end of monthly Navigo passes? With the very likely increase in its price to 90 euros, this is what Internet users claim. “By taking the metro twice a working day, 40 tickets/month or 80€, cheaper than Navigo, you win”, launches one of them. “It’s not worth it anymore,” adds another.
Valérie Pécresse, the president of the Ile-de-France region, has effectively announced a Navigo pass “at 90 euros per month”, from 2023, if the mobility payment, a tax weighing on companies with more than 11 employees to finance the transport, does not increase. If everyone seems to have made their calculations for maximum savings, what is it really? 20 minutes make the point.
FAKE OFF
Monthly and annual subscriptions for Parisian transport are not the only ones to experience an increase. Obviously, this is also the case for tickets sold individually. A cold shower for Ile-de-France residents who are already suffering from inflation. “Rather than helping us to face this more than financially difficult period, we are increasing our expenses even more”, deplores a surfer. And to continue: “The only thing that does not increase are our salaries. »
The most likely track is that the monthly subscription goes to 90 euros, against 75.20 euros currently. And as for the ticket, it would go to 2.30 euros, whereas it is today at 1.90 euros. Internet users who claim that buying tickets would be more advantageous assume that everyone makes two journeys every day. To get to the office, then back home. Assuming 22 working days in the month, this will amount to paying 101.20 euros. The monthly pass would therefore always be advantageous.
The savings made by subscribing to this subscription would also be greater than with the rates currently in force. The subscriber would keep 11.20 euros in his wallet, against only 8.40 today. However, below 39 trips per month, it will be more advantageous for you to take tickets.
There is another option if you don’t take much transport. the Navigo Freedom + allows you to pay less for each trip than the single ticket. Currently it is at 1.49 euros, and although it should increase at the same time as the other offers, its price will remain lower than that of a ticket. However, the sections of the RER/train lines that are outside zone 1, the Tram 11 Express line, and the Orlyval are not included.
