Like every new year, 2024 promises to be full of changes and innovations for public transport in Paris and the Ile-de-France region.

The rate will now rise again, this time by 2.6%, to 86.40 euros per month in 2024. " An increase that will remain under control for the next eight years at the price of inflation + 1% maximum, thanks to the agreement signed between Île-de-France Mobilités and the State ", states IDFM (Île-de-France Mobilités) in a press release.
