Paris Metro Ticket Prices to Double During 2024 Olympics
New Paris 2024 Pass Introduced for Visitors Amid Controversy Over Accessibility
- Paris Metro tickets will double in price during the 2024 Olympics, with a single ticket rising from €2.10 to €4.
- The price increase is intended to offset the cost of extra transport provision during the Games, which will run from July 26 to August 11, 2024, followed by the Paralympics from August 28 to September 8.
- Residents with monthly or annual passes will not be affected by the price increase.
- A new pass, the Paris 2024 pass, will be introduced for visitors, costing €16 a day and up to €70 a week.
- The announcement has sparked controversy, with some critics arguing it contradicts the Games' mission to be 'accessible' and 'for the people.'
