Buying Transportation Tickets in Paris

To purchase public transportation tickets, you have several options:

1) Download the free mobile app and purchase digital tickets directly on your phone.  The app, Ile-de-France Mobilités, can be downloaded here (page only available in French): https://www.iledefrance-mobilites.fr/titres-et-tarifs/supports/smartphone.

2) You can purchase a travel card and top it up at any metro station, either at the automatic machines or at the information desks.  Bear in mind, that most machines and informations desks only accept payment by credit/debit card.

3) If you're only planning to take the bus, you can buy your ticket via SMS if you have a French phone number.  You send an SMS to the number 93100 with the word BUS and the bus number (example: BUS101, BUS67...).
