Key tips to travelling with ease

  • Plan ahead!
    - Check your itineraries and traffic updates before you leave.
    - Select your transport ticket or travel card before going to the station.
  • You need to validate your ticket or card for each journey on each transport mode (RER, metro, bus, tram), including for every change on the bus and tram networks.
  • Please keep your ticket until you leave the station, as ticket inspectors can ask to check it at any time.
  • Please make sure that you take your bag with you before leaving the train.
  • Protect your belongings: pickpockets may be present on our network.

Plan your journey

Use one of the official apps (Île-de-France Mobilités, Bonjour RATP, or any other app from an official retailer*) to:

  • Plan your itinerary ahead of time (line, direction and changes).
  • Select your transport ticket and, whenever possible, purchase it before going to the station.
  • Check timetables and traffic updates in real time before your journey.
