You will continue to pay. In a recent interview with Parisian, Valérie Pécresse, president of the Île-de-France region, addressed the sensitive issue of Ile-de-France transport. If the politician explained that the Redesign of the Île-de-France Mobilités network was one of his “biggest pride“, She also confirmed that prices will continue to increase in the years to come. Despite the growers of residents in the face of recent prices increases, she assures that the increases in the Navigo pass will remain “Moderate” until 2031.
Promised, it’s for a good cause
The monthly navigo pass experienced a increase of € 2.40 to January 1ᵉʳ 2025, Reaching € 88.80 per month. This tariff increase aims to finance the operation and modernization of public transport, as well as passenger safety. In the coming years, it will also allow the deployment of new MF19 trains on the entire network, as well as the construction of the Grand Paris Express project, which provides for the opening of 300 kilometers of new metro lines.
Valérie Pécresse defends the current Navigo prices, stressing that they remain attractive thanks to employer reimbursements. Indeed, 90 % of users benefit from a partial reimbursement, which reduces their monthly cost to around € 44.40. In his interview with The Parisianit also recalls that without regional and departmental aid, the real cost of Navigo would be much higher, with an estimate of € 274 monthly. If the decisions of the regional president are far from unanimous, the Grand Paris Express and the moderate increases in the Navigo are part of a wider strategy aimed at promoting public transport and reduce the environmental footprint in Île-de-France.
The fact remains that the pill is struggling to pass for users. The establishment of a universal metro-train ticket at 2.50 € aroused strong criticism, and the Navigo Liberté+ pass still experiences some technical problems, despite its success.
+1% each year
“I can get involved today and say that the Navigo pass will not increase by 2031 more inflation +1% each year. We will have regular increases, but they will be very moderate“, Promises Valérie Pécresse. On the scale of a year, this will correspond to an additional € 1 on the annual package. Minimal developments, certainly, but indeed constant, which promise to weigh heavily on the wallet of Ile-de-France travelers. What contribute to the financing of the works, of which The annual cost has been multiplied by four since 2015to arrive at 800 million euros now.
