The onboard SMS ticket allows you to buy your transport ticket at the last minute before getting on your bus. It’s very simple, convenient and fast from your phone, just follow these steps:

• Buy your onboard SMS ticket
  When you see your bus approaching, send an SMS from your local number with the text “Bus + number” (the number of your bus route) to the number 93100. You will then receive an SMS which will act as a ticket.
  Examples:
  - Send Bus29 to 93100 if you are taking bus route 29,
  - Send BusN01 to 93100 if you are taking the Noctilien route N01,
  (do not leave a space between BUS and the line number).
   
• Show your onboard SMS ticket to the driver when boarding the bus.

That's it! You’re ready to go! Your onboard SMS ticket will be deducted directly from your telephone bill.

The onboard SMS ticket is valid only for immediate travel on the bus without transfers. It will remain valid for 1 hour from the time the SMS was sent (the duration is indicated on the SMS you will receive).
