The ticket "t" is the standard single trip ticket for Paris public transit. It can be bought either as a single unit at the price of €1.50, or as a pack of ten, a carnet, at the price of €11.10. The companies operating the ticket "t" are the RATP, the SNCF and the Optile consortium.

The ticket "t" is not the only ticket used in Paris public transit: daily cards (Mobilis — or Ticket jeunes for young people on weekends), weekly and monthly cards (carte orange), and yearly cards (intégrale and imagine R for students) are also available. For tourists needing a pass for a specific length of time, the Paris Visite card is also available.

[edit] General use

The ticket "t" can be used as a single trip ticket on:

• The complete Métro network.
• The zone 1 of the RER network (inside the city limits of Paris).
• The complete tramway network.
• The complete RATP bus network, in the city of Paris and its suburbs (except few special lines as explained below).
• Most of the Optile bus network, a union of the private operators of bus lines in Paris outer suburbs.
• The Montmartre funicular.

[edit] Exceptions and details on use

On a bus and tramway, a ticket "t" can usually be used for any single trip, without a transfer, regardless of the length of the trip. The only exceptions are Noctilien night bus lines, Orlybus and Roissybus airport bus shuttles, and lines 221, 297, 299, 350, 351 and Balabus.

Noctilien night bus can be used with standard ticket "t"; however, if the trip exceeds a certain length, a second ticket should be used. The system is similar on Optile bus lines, where a second ticket has to be used for any trip longer than five sections (about 12.5 km).

The Orlyval metro shuttle needs a dedicated ticket which is available anywhere in the RATP network. Orlybus and Roissybus, the bus shuttles to Paris airports, also need dedicated tickets.
