Big changes to come in Ile-de-France transport. The Ile-de-France Mobilités transport authority (IDFM) validated its budget for the year 2025 on Wednesday.
And as a novelty, this budget provides for a single price ticket across the entire network. The Navigo pass will see an increase of 2.8%, in order to finance investments.
Pécresse targets new users
Transport prices in the Ile-de-France region will therefore experience an upheaval next year with the appearance of a single price of 2.50 euros for metros, trains and RER throughout Ile-de-France. Bus and tram journeys will cost 2 euros, regardless of the location and distance traveled.
This big price bang will cost IDFM 30 million euros, out of 4 billion in revenue linked to the sale of transport tickets, according to the authority. The president of IDFM, Valérie Pécresse, hopes to cover this expense by welcoming new users to public transport, attracted by this simpler and more advantageous pricing, especially for those who make long journeys with many connections.
But for the regional left, it is the increases in the Navigo pass or the Imagine R pass (for schools and students) which will finance this reform. “What Valérie Pécresse gives with one hand, she takes back with the other,” denounces this political group.
The Navigo goes to 88.80 euros
The Navigo pass, which allows you to travel anywhere in the Paris region, will increase to 88.80 euros per month, instead of 86.40 euros this year. This increase was expected and corresponds to an agreement signed between IDFM and the State in 2023, guaranteeing an increase in revenues paid by businesses and local authorities.
This agreement makes it possible to limit the increase in prices for users to the level of inflation + 1% until 2031. “According to our estimates, this agreement will necessarily increase the monthly cost of the Navigo pass to a minimum of 93 euros and 98 euros maximum in 2028″, deplores on the other hand the group of the communist, environmentalist and citizen left of the Regional Council.

Next year, IDFM plans to devote “12.9 billion euros to the operation of the transport network”, two thirds of which are intended to remunerate the RATP and SNCF, the main transport operators in Ile-de-France. . The authority also plans to spend 3.7 billion euros on investment, notably in new metros, the MF19, the first examples of which will be deployed next year on line 10 of the metro.
Furthermore, the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, which gave rise to a strong but temporary increase in prices, “left no debt in their wake”, rejoiced IDFM.
