Carnet of Ticket T+ confusion & Taxi fare budget

Help me to understand the Ticket t+ condition. TQ

After read some of the threads here pertaining to Ticket t+ , i still cant understand about the connection part.

example,

i will take Metro from Anvers - Paris to Porte Dauphine (Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny) - Paris

%26amp; take RER to CHAMP DE MARS TOUR EIFFEL.

can i just use one/same ticket? i definitely dont wan to be penalised later :P

When buying a carnet of Ticket t+, do i need to specify the route, since d webby stated carnet = 10 identical ticket. i just need to travel within Zone 1 only.

Would anyone tell me how much roughly the taxi fare from Disneyland - Chessy station to L%26#39;Orme Rond - Bailly Romainvilliers? i tot of taking bus, but later only found out i need to take 2 buses...so it%26#39;s will be abit tiring taking all d luggage.

Thanks in advance!

from Anvers Metro station you take line 2 TOWARDS Porte Dauphine but get off at Charles de Gaulle/ Etoile and change---while STAYING INSIDE THE METRO SYSTEM--at Etoile just look for a sign %26quot;correspondances%26quot;--and signs pointing to line 6. The line 6 starts/ end at Etoile). Get off at Bir-Hakeim. You can get off the metro and walk up to the then walk to the Eiffel tower or walk underground --before exiting the metro--to the RER C Eiffel tower station but don%26#39;t get in the RER.

A ticket t+ is good for both Metro and RER in zones 1-2. tickets t+ don%26#39;t have a specific route. They are good for any route, any line within the 2 zones.

With one ticket you can change to 2, 3, 4, 5 different lines between the departure station and the arrival one.

Bonjour,

a ticket t+ is not good for the RER outside zone 1. If you want to travel with RER from Paris (zone 1) to a station in zone 2 (e.g. Laplace or Pantin or any other RER-station in zone 2) you have to buy a %26quot;Ticket Ile-de-France%26quot; (€2,25 instead of 1,60/1,16 for a t+). Please take a look at the link you%26#39;ve posted. In the upper left corner of the map you%26#39;ll find an explanation.

Otherwise a ticket t+ is also good for the metro in zone 3. If you want to travel to Chatillion or Creteil or Asnieres-G. or any other metro station in zone 3 you don%26#39;t need more than one Ticket T+.

Regards

%26quot;RER: beyond this border, towards the suburbs, price setting depends on distance.

t+ tickets are not valid.%26quot;

I never noticed before that the RER border is WAY inside Zone 2.

jdbri...re RER, me neither..apologies to the OP.

guys, i still dont quite understand.

issit mean that d RER station i mention is under Zone 2?

thanks!

I don%26#39;t quite understand why you want to take the RER. To go from the Anvers metro station to the Eiffel tower you only need to metro line 2 then metro line 6. At Anvers take line 2 going in the direction of Pte Dauphine but get off well BEFORE Pte Dauphine at the metro station Charles de Gaulle / Etoile, where you change to line 6 (going towards Nation). Get off at Bir-Hakeim and walk from there, at ground level, to the Eiffel tower.

If you insist using line 2 then the RER from Porte Dauphine, the station Champs de Mars/ Eiffel tower is in Zone 1.

How do I know? (and because I made a mistake before about RER zones you have a right to be sceptical) check the following map showing the zones.

www.ratp.info/orienter/cv/carteparis.php

this map is a bit tricky as if you click anywhere you get all sorts of info.

BUT notice that the central area of the map is zone 1. It does include the Eiffel tower and even Porte Dauphine. you can zoom on the map (zoom control at right)

If you click on Anvers station a green flag and a red flag will show. Click on the GREEN flag. Then bring your mouse to Bir-Hakeim (it will say Eiffel tower..) click on it, then click on the RED flag. You whole route will show up on the map..

For picky people the RER C stop by Pte Dauphine is not called Pte Dauphine but Avenue Foch. both stations are close to one another but the map shows a dotted line between the 2 stations, not the regular %26quot;correspondance%26quot; symbol (oval shape linking 2 stations). In addition of being the long way around, one would have to pay an extra ticket.

The OP could also get off line 6 at Trocadero and walk across the gardens and across the Seine to the E.Tower..this is one of the most spectacular view of the tower.

thanks 3conils.

but now i%26#39;m not really emphasing the route, i can see the route u have mentioned here.

i just wondering (to clear my confusing), whether if i take metro, later RER , do i need to pay twice?

d route i stated is only for exampla purpose.

but it%26#39;s good also, at least now i aware that there is aways an alternate route to go one place.

metro to metro - 1 ticket ;

metro to rer - 1 or 2 ticket? ;

metro to bus (cos d journey planner also suggested tis route) - can i use back the metro ticket?

(assume all stations under Zone 1)

at least once i clarified these confusion, i will get more clearer on paying fare for others route.

haha ytd my friend just told me he paid euro0.80 from zone 1 to versailles! cos he totally dunno how d system work. but luckily he dint get caught.

appreciated ur reply again!

Sorry for the delay...we are on different time zones..

%26quot;Paris RER trains use two different types of tickets depending on which part of the RER network you will be traveling. When taking an RER train strictly within central Paris Zone 1 you can use a basic Paris Metro ticket for travel on the RER.

Travel beyond Paris Zone 1 on the RER requires a special ticket: a Billet Ile-de-France%26quot;

As long as you go from Metro to RER or vice versa without going outside you use the same ticket. What happen though is that the average tourist NEVER USE THE RER within zone 1 but the metro only.

You use metro + RER ONLY if travelling where the metro doesn%26#39;t go for example airport CDG to downtown--or vice versa- or from, lets%26#39;say %26quot;Anvers%26quot; metro station, to Versailles.

In this case you will have to buy a special RER ticket, also good for the metro portion of your trip.
