We will be arriving on a Tuesday for 10 days and plan on walking mostly but the first week need transportation from CDG and to/from Versailles so I think getting a weekly pass for all zones should be the best option?

      No. You can buy the weekly pass for a given week from the Friday morning of the previous week up to the Thursday evening of the week you want to use it.
      Which means if you purchase on a Friday, it can't be used this Friday, but only the next Monday.

      I think it's because when you take line 14 in Paris, the system wouldn't know if it has to use a t+ ticket or a special Orly ticket, as it's the same metro but with different price.

    I am not sure I see the difference between pulling out a ticket and pulling out your smartphone to tap. All I can see is that people feel techy if they use their phone but it is no different at all to using a plain simple ticket which is small and light especially when purchasing a monthly or yearly pass.

    • @paristoptips
      @paristoptips  4 місяці тому +3

      The big difference is that you can purchase tickets wherever you are, whenever you want and don't have to queue anymore to purchase them. It's also more ecological.

    • @Person-mh6xq
      @Person-mh6xq 3 місяці тому +3

      Disagree. Most people always carry their phones with them. This way, you don’t have to worry about losing your paper ticket or remembering to bring it. Tapping with your phone is the way to go. It’s not about “feeling techie.”

    Sorry but overly complicated for those not tech savvy such as the elderly. It’s like a guide for flying a plane. I’d rather just buy a card I scan. Than join this, buy that, turn this on. Although do appreciate your efforts at explanation.
