RATP to Hike Fines for Fare Violations to €70 in Île-de-France
RATP to Increase Fines for Fare Violations in Île-de-France Île-de-France, France – Starting June 2, 2025, the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP) will implement a significant increase in fines for public transport fare violations across the region's metro and RER lines. All infractions will be subject to a flat fine of €70, a considerable jump from the previous tiered system. This change affects passengers without tickets and those with invalid Navigo passes alike. Previously, fines varied depending on the nature of the violation. For example, an unvalidated Navigo pass on the metro incurred a €35 fine, while traveling without a ticket cost €50. This new policy simplifies enforcement but has raised concerns among some commuters. "This is a significant increase and might disproportionately affect those who unintentionally violate fare rules, especially with the frequent malfunctions of ticket machines," commented one regular commuter on social media. The RATP has not yet publicly addressed concerns about the potential impact of this change on passengers experiencing technical difficulties with ticket validation. The unified €70 fine will apply to all fare violations, regardless of circumstances. While the RATP aims for streamlined enforcement, the policy change could lead to increased complaints if the issue of malfunctioning ticket machines isn't addressed. Further clarification from the RATP on this matter is anticipated.
