🚇 How to Buy Tickets
📍 Ticket Counters
✅ Recommended for beginners! Available at CDG/Orly airports and major stations (e.g., Châtelet). English-speaking staff assist.
📍 Self-Service Machines
💻 Tips:
- New machines support Chinese interfaces, WeChat/Alipay. Older models require step-by-step navigation (select language first).
- Choose “Ticket Métro-Train” for single-journey tickets.
📱 Mobile Payment
- iPhone Users: Add an electronic travel card directly to your Wallet for tap-and-go access.
- Android Users: Download the official “Île-de-France Mobilités” app to purchase and generate QR codes.
⚠️ Pitfall Warnings! Lessons from Experience
1️⃣ Beware of Fake Ticket Inspectors 🚫 Always verify credentials! Scammers target tourists for fake fines or ticket swaps.
2️⃣ Choose Modern Lines for Luggage 🧳 Older trains lack elevators and require manual door opening (press the inner button). Opt for Lines 4/14 (fully automated) with luggage.
3️⃣ Ticket Traps
- Single tickets expire if transfers exceed 30 minutes (2-hour total limit for Metro/RER).
- Secure your Weekly Pass photo—on-site photo booths charge extra. Bring a passport-sized photo.
4️⃣ Anti-Theft Tips 👜 Avoid luxury bags for ticket storage. Use a separate pouch for Metro cards to deter pickpockets.
