Paris hotels & travel
- RATP is the name of the main transit company in Paris operating buses, regional trains, trams and metro services. The official website is: www.RATP.fr
- metro ticket (in 2010) A single ticket cost €1.60. If you buy 10 tickets together (called a 'carnet') you will get a reduction. Full fare price is then €11.60. There are tickets vending machines on some stations but they are in French language and require creditcards or coins. If you use your bankpas, you have the chance that you won't get tickets but that your bank account will be charged afterwards! (happend to me). Best is therefore to go to the ticket window, because you also will get there two free metro/paris maps.
