Old Paris Metro tickets
Will tickets bought in Dec. 2018 still be good in Nov. 2019? |
Yes, they are perfectly valid.
|
Paper tickets will become useless in 2021.
|
November 2019 is before 2021, or am I going senile?
|
I asked because I read of a rate increase, so I thought maybe the old tickets would have to be returned and more money added. |
No, ever since magnetic strip tickets were introduced in the last century, existing tickets have always remained valid even when there is a fare increase.

Maybe someone will do a search and want to know. |
Regardless of paper tickets being not accepted anymore they will still be valid. You'll go to a booth and exchange them. |
I hope they merge the functions of the Easy card and the Navigo card, Also, I dislike the effect of requiring a couple to buy two Easy cards and separate carnets, while paper tickets allow sharing a carnet asnd no extra cost for cards.

People will always need individual transport passes. Can you imagine the effect if a ticket checker is told, after an argument for example, "no, I don't know that person"?

In New York City, multiple fares stored on a metrocard can be used for up to four consecutive riders at a turnstile, allowing discounted rides to be spread over a whole family. The paper carnet tickets can similarly be distributed. A card that is personal cannot allow this. Charging a fee to have the card is just another tourist tax.
