The Paris Métro is among the great transport bargains of the world: over 300 stations all over the city, and you can travel from one to another for 1.90€—or even less.

If, instead of buying one or two tickets at a time, you abuy a Navigo Easy card (2€) and load ten tickets—a carnet—on it, you'll pay only 1.49€ per ticket—a discount of 22%.

These tickets are valid on the Paris Métro, city buses, funiculars (such as the Funiculaire du Montmartre that climbs the hill of Montmartre), trams, and even for short trips on the RER suburban trains in central Paris.

Other savings options, such as the Paris Visite, may be useful for some visitors, but for most visitors to Paris, nothing beats the carnet.
