Do Metro tickets expire?

Question

I travel to Paris two or three times a year and have a Carte Orange pass to get me around the city centre. I have to make the occasional trip to the outskirts, for which I buy ordinary Metro tickets singly, but it is better value to buy a carnet of 10 tickets. I would not use them all in the same trip and was wondering if they would still be valid next time I travel or if they only last a week/month etc (I'm not really that tight, I just don't like waste!).

Answer 1

Hello,

Metro tickets never expire.

Answer 2

only the carte orange expires ordinary metro tickets don't

Answer 3

That depend how much you travel in Paris, the ticket(-T) is valabe when you enter in the metro to the moment you left it, but if i remember zones 1-2 it is about 14€ by week, maybe it should be better to keep your card ?

Answer 4

My understanding is that metro tickets have no expiration date.

Although I have no reference that explicitly says this I notice that in the discussion of the new t+ ticket on the RATP website there is this question and answer:

19) I have got a carnet of mauve tickets. Are they still valid? For how long?

Yes, of course ! Relax, you have not wasted your money. You can use these tickets as at present on the RATP and the SNCF.

I would also note that I have used metro tickets that were a year old without problem.

Answer 5
