You’ve got questions ? We’ve got the answers !

1) Does the "t+ ticket" replace the old "t ticket" ?

Yes. It is sold in the same way as the old t ticket singly or in carnets of ten at full fare or half fare.

2) With which tickets can you make bus connections?

With the t+ tickets sold singly or in carnets (normal fare or reduced fare)
Be careful: the ticket sold on board buses marked “sans correspondance” does not allow for connections.

3) Can you make connections between RATP and Optile bus lines?

Yes. You can make connections between two RATP lines, 2 Optile lines and between an RATP line and an Optile line.

4) What about connections with trams?

You can make connections between trams and all intersecting bus lines except for the T4.

5) Do you have to validate your ticket again when making a connection?

Yes, the ticket has to be validated every time you board a bus or tram.

6) Can you make several connections with the same "t+ ticket"?

Yes, provided that no more than one hour and half elapses between the first and the last validation.

7) Can you make a round trip on the same bus or tram line?

No

8) Can you get off along the way and get back on a bus on the same line?

No

9) With the t+ ticket can you connect between the bus and the metro?

No. The t+ ticket allows connections:

• either on the rail network : between metro lines and with the RER RATP and SNCF lines (within Paris)
• or on the bus network : between bus lines and with the tram lines, except for T4

10) Where can you buy the "t+ tickets" ?

The t+ ticket is on sale everywhere you could buy the old "t ticket". That is:

• from the sales windows of the metro and RER stations;
• from the sales windows in certain bus terminuses;
• from shops approved by the RATP, the SNCF and OPTILE (mainly tobacconists);
• from the ticket machines in the stations and certain bus terminuses and on the trams;

On buses, you can only buy the “sans correspondance” tickets singly, allowing for no connections however long the journey.

11) What about children?

Children from 4 to 9 years of age inclusive can travel with “t+ tickets” from a half-price carnet as with the old t ticket.

12) Why is it that some white tickets do not carry the “t+ ticket” reference?

In the ticket machines, the other tickets for the suburbs printed off the same rolls as the "t+ tickets", so they will be the same colour.

13) Does anything about my suburbs ticket change?

It becomes white, that’s all.

14) If the sales window or ticket machine give me a mauve "t ticket", what is the difference with respect to the white “t+ ticket”?

There is none. It means they have not yet received the new colour. At the next delivery, all the tickets will come out white.

15) Why is the tobacconist still selling the mauve "t tickets"?

There again, the old stocks have not been used up. They will shortly be replaced with white "t+ tickets".

16) Why do the buses still have the mauve "t tickets" ?

Still for the same reason. Once the present stocks are used up, the mauve "t tickets" will be replaced by white tickets carrying the reference "sans correspondance" that can only be used on the bus from which they are bought.

17) For tickets sold on board, will no connections be available?

Right, no connection will be available with these “sans correspondance” tickets.

18) I have got a carnet of mauve tickets. Are they still valid? For how long?

Yes, of course ! Relax, you have not wasted your money. You can use these tickets as at present on the RATP and the SNCF. They are still valid on some OPTILE and TRA lines that already accepted them.

19) Do I have to change my mauve tickets for white ones?

No, not at all. You can use them on the RATP, SNCF and the OPTILE as you do now.

20) Are the Carte Orange coupons going to change colour?

No. This change only affects the tickets.
