Conditions of Use for Standard Tickets

For travel on trains within the Ile de France, you must hold a standard transport ticket, as follows. 
- Single journey
- Validated at point of entry
- Covering the entire sector travelled, whether you use one or several modes of transport: train, RER, Underground.

All tickets are for use exclusively on the sector travelled and journeys cannot be broken unless where required for appropriate connections.
You may discontinue your journey on a given sector but no reimbursement applies for partial use of a ticket.
Use of 2 tickets in succession is not allowed.
Tickets may be used on any given day, for a single journey. Tickets are issued without any specified period for use.
Once a ticket has been validated, all travel must be carried out within two hours.

Validation

Automatic ticket checking equipment is installed at all the major train stations: at turnstiles and/or doors, travellers must firstly validate their magnetic strip tickets and Navigo cards before proceeding to trains.

Reminder : Only single magnetic strip tickets must be validated.

Complying with statutory requirements

You must ensure you retain your ticket or coupon and that it is in good condition until you have passed through the train station exit. Both within the train station premises and on all trains, SNCF personnel are authorised to check the validity of your ticket at any time.

If your ticket is checked, you must produce:
- Your validated transport ticket or full travel pass (for example: coupon and card or travel pass bearing the same number), 
- Documentary proof of entitlement to reduction.

Failure to comply with these requirements will result in a fine in addition to mandatory legal costs.
