Good news for Parisians! Navigo Liberté+ will be available on all mobiles from June 23, 2025, an eagerly-awaited breakthrough that will make getting around Paris even easier. Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM) has announced that it will be available on Android and iOS. We tell you all about it…
Already adopted by over a million users, the Navigo Liberté+ is a highly flexible pass. This pass allows unlimited travel in eligible zones, paying only for journeys actually made, with a deduction at the end of the month. Valérie Pécresse, President of theÎle-de-France region and ofÎle-de-France Mobilités (IDFM), announced that since November 2024, the number of subscribers has exploded.
Validation directly from your phone
As of Monday June 23, 2025, you will no longer need the physical card version; simply open the Île-de-France Mobilités application and activate validation to access transport. Validation will work even when your phone is switched off, which is a major advantage when it comes to avoiding the inconvenience of a flat battery. The mobile version of Liberté+ is currently being tested by 200 volunteers. Simply place the device on a validator to open the gate. Be careful, however, to activate the phone’s screen when validating.
Another advantage: metro-train-bus or streetcar connections will be free for Navigo Liberté+ users. “This means you can just pass your smartphone – even if it’s switched off, I might add – over the validator, and travel wherever you want,” Valérie Pécresse explained.
Why adopt Navigo Liberté+ on your mobile?
In addition to being practical and economical, this dematerialized mode of transport responds to new travel habits. With a fare of €1.99 per metro and RER journey (instead of €2.50 for a classic ticket) and €1.60 for a bus or tramway journey, the Navigo Liberté+ is a wise choice for occasional users. Payment will be debited the following month directly to the linked bank account.
The gradual phasing out of paper ticket books has prompted IDFM to speed up its transition to digital technology. From now on, no more queues at ticket machines and lost tickets: everything is managed from your smartphone!
The annual subscription will soon be paperless
The arrival of Liberté+ on smartphones marks another step towards the complete digitization of transport tickets in the Île-de-France region. Since the Paris 2024 Olympics, tickets as well as Navigo day, week and month cards have been compatible with Apple devices, after long years of discussions. These tickets had already been available on Android smartphones since 2022.
All that’s missing now is the digital version of the annual Navigo. ” We have chosen to give priority to tickets that need to be renewed frequently, to avoid having to go to ticket offices “, explained Laurent Probst, Director of Île-de-France Mobilités. According to Valérie Pécresse, the annual pass should be available on iOS and Android devices by the end of 2025.
So, are you ready to validate your journeys with a simple gesture on your smartphone? Join us this Monday, June 23 , 2025, to discover and activate this new feature on your phones, which will simplify your journeys!
