Forgot your Navigo pass? An emergency coupon is available!
That’s the scenario we’d really like to avoid. Imagine: you’re on your way to the metro station, ready to start your day’s work… when you realize you don’t have your Navigo pass with you…
Fortunately, since September 2019, RATP has been offering you free a ” coupon de dépannage ” for the day. To request it, simply approach a sales agent with your identification. Once obtained, the emergency pass allows you to travel as normal in all areas covered by your navigo pass.
Please note that if you’re really absent-minded, you can only apply for this pass twice a year.
