Carte orange

Ei tarvi ostaa Passe navigoa ja pääsee keskustaan.

Carte orangeja ei enää myydä kaikkialla (metroasemilla on tästä ilmoituksia), vaan tilalle on tullut Navigo. Ks. alla:

The Carte orange is currently being phased out, to be replaced by the Navigo pass. This new pass contains a chip and is waved over a turnstile, carries a photo of the user on the card itself and may be based on an account that the user has with the RATP. Thus, unlike the Carte orange, when a Navigo pass is lost or stolen, it may be replaced (for a fee). Carte Orange was officially replaced by the Navigo travel card on the 20th of May, 2008.

The direct consequence of the phase out of la Carte Orange is to likely make it more expensive for short-term visitors and tourists to take advantage of the maximum discounts available from advance bulk purchase of trips. This is due to the fact that the new Navigo card must be linked to a French account or it costs the user a €5 fee to purchase.
