Revolution in local transport: new fares for everyone in Île-de-France!
In 2025, Île-de-France Mobilités will reform the tariff system for travel to ensure barrier-free mobility for everyone.
Revolution in local transport: new fares for everyone in Île-de-France!
Île-de-France Mobilités has launched a comprehensive reform of collective mobility in the region to improve mobility for everyone. This reform will be implemented in the context of European Mobility Week and the international Sustainable Development Goals. With the aim of viewing mobility as a right and not a luxury, a new tariff structure was created that came into force from September 1, 2025. There were previously 50,000 different tariffs in circulation; Now only two individual tariffs apply: €2 for a bus or tram journey and €2.50 for journeys on the subway, train or RER. These new tariffs apply to all residents of the region, regardless of where they live.
The focus on accessibility is a central element of this reform. Île-de-France Mobilités aims to make public transport accessible to all people, including people with disabilities. While this is a much-needed step in the right direction, the reality for accessibility in the Paris Metro remains challenging due to technical and architectural limitations. By 2023, less than 9% of metro stations will be barrier-free and even by the 2024 Paralympic Games, only line 14 of the Paris metro will be 100% accessible. There are several lines affected that require additional deadlines to achieve the required standards.
Accessibility and challenges
The legal regulations, which were passed on February 11, 2005, require public transport networks to be barrier-free within ten years. However, this deadline has been extended to 2024 due to the existing challenges. The remaining lines 1 to 13 of the Paris Metro have additional hurdles to overcome in order to become completely barrier-free.
Future projects such as lines 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the Grand Paris Express are planned to be barrier-free from the start. In addition, the planned extension of lines 4, 11 and 14 will create a total of 33 new, independently accessible stations. Meanwhile, Île-de-France Mobilités offers accessible alternative routes to improve the mobility of people with disabilities on the public transport network.
The reform of collective mobility in Île-de-France is more than just an adjustment of tariffs; it is part of a broader effort to improve the quality of life in the region. Advances in accessibility are crucial to ensuring that all citizens have access to these services, and Île-de-France Mobilités' initiatives show that a change in the mobility landscape is on the horizon, even if the path to get there remains challenging.
