Forfait imagine R

The Imagine R pass is the most economical transport pass if you travel regularly.
It offers around 50% savings compared to the price of the Navigo Annual pass.
With the “Bons Plans” (Good Deals) card, you also get access to many year-round benefits with Imagine R partners.

The pass is valid all year long and allows you to travel as much as you want during the week on all modes of transport across the Île-de-France network:
Transilien trains, RER, metro, bus, tramway, and Noctilien night buses (except Orlyval).
