Since January 1, 2025, the monthly Navigo pass rate has increased from 86.40 to 88.80 euros. A small increase, but for what purpose?
An increase of €2.40, which is equivalent to inflation plus one percentage point, within a framework aimed at ensuring controlled increases until 2031. Why is this increase necessary?
The goal is twofold: to ensure the operation of the network and to continue its development. Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM), which manages public transportation in the region, contracts with several well-known operators such as RATP, SNCF, and Transdev. These contracts cover daily operation, infrastructure and vehicle maintenance, as well as modernization and security.
At the same time, IDFM invests in modernizing one of the world’s largest transportation networks. Trains, metros, RER, trams, and buses are gradually being replaced or renovated to meet the challenges of sustainable mobility and the growth of the Île-de-France population.
A Fare Shield Until 2031
To limit the impact on users, an agreement signed in September 2023 between IDFM and the State sets a cap on annual increases: inflation plus a maximum of 1 point. This pact relies on several financial leverage points:
- Increase in contributions from companies, benefiting from new infrastructure.
- Increase in tourism tax, putting tourists to contribute.
- Greater efforts from local authorities, including the Île-de-France Region and departments.
With a operating budget of €12.2 billion in 2024, IDFM is thus equipped with sustainable means.
What’s new in 2025?
- The C1 cable car, connecting Villeneuve-Saint-Georges to Créteil – Pointe du Lac.
- The Tzen 4, an all-electric bus replacing line 402 over 14 km between Viry-Châtillon and Corbeil-Essonnes.
- The MF19 metro, a new generation, first deployed on line 10 before a general rollout by 2033.
In short, this rate increase contributes to a more modern, comfortable, and environmentally friendly network. For once, we approve.
