Navigo Easy

I don't know the answer. I did get this quote from an online article on France 24 dated June 16th.

"As a first step, the Navigo Easy card will only be available for the Paris Métro, but will gradually be rolled out to cover the whole public transport network in the Île-de-France region. In time, users will also be able to top up their cards via their smartphones instead of using machines or counter service."

The RER B ticket is separate from the Navigo Easy card. You can only load metro tickets onto the Navigo Easy card (the better deal Carnet of 10 is still available). Both the RER B ticket and Navigo Easy card can easily be purchased with the agents in the CDG SNCF office.

Billet origine destination are not yet able to be loaded on the Easy. From CDG to Paris , you just purchase a normal CDG to Paris ticket at 10.30€

This thing has just rolled out and is quite limited right now. No point to point RER tickets can be loaded but this will surely change in the future. So right now, no, only ordinary local t+ tickets individually and in carnet of 10. You can get a discount for 10 child ticket as with the ordinary carnet of kid tickets but you can't get the discounted child tickets individually. You can also load a Roissy bus ticket, a weekend Ticket Jeune or a day pass similar to the Mobilis. But not RER point to point tickets yet.

When using the Navigo easy, is there a system where you use the card to “check out” of the metro like you have to pass the t+ tickets through the machine again?

Thanks very much.

Brenda,

I used one for several days in Paris and never encountered a metro turnstile where checking out was required.

You never 'check out' of the metro -- there is no metro station where you have to use the ticket to exit. When we use the Navigo Decouverte same deal.

RER stations do require check out with the ticket and at those stations you would use the touch pad just as you do with the current Navigo Decouverte.

While the Easy cannot be loaded with point to point RER tickets, it can be used on the RER within Paris and would thus be used like a Navigo Decouverte with touch pad in and out.
