Rising Metro Ticket Prices in Paris for 2024 Olympics Prompt Controversy

The price of a single Paris metro ticket will almost double during the summer, announced the president of the Ile-de-France transport union IDFM, Valérie Pécresse, who wants to finance the extra cost of transportation linked to the Paris 2024 Olympics. The price of a metro ticket will increase to 4 euros (from the current 2.10 euros) and the book of 10 tickets to 32 euros (from 16.90 euros), as announced by Ms. Pécresse in a video published on X (formerly Twitter). The monthly and annual Navigo passes, Imagin’R and senior passes “will not be affected by these increases,” said Ms. Pécresse, who also announced the launch of a special pass for visitors.
