Where do you buy a ticket for the Air France Bus?

Does anyone know where you buy the ticket for the Air France Bus from CDG into Paris? I found the times, the prices, and where the bus goes, but not where one buys the tickets. I wondered if there was an office or if you pay the bus driver.

Best,
Sandy

We bought the tickets from the driver both times we used the Air France buses.

If you're getting on it in Terminal 1, the office is right across from Gate 34, which is where you will most likely exit from Customs. I think it's possible to buy it directly from the driver, but I've witnessed some serious bouts of frustration on the part of those drivers, when they were trying to load the shuttles with luggage and people who were standing right next to the ticket office were trying instead to buy tickets from the drivers.

Tickets can be purchased directly from the bus driver or at the following pre-sale offices:

- Paris:
Porte Maillot (close to AF ticket office)

- CDG airport:
Hall 2B gate B6
Hall 2D gate D6
Hall 2F arrival gate F

- Orly airport:
Orly West arrival gate D
Orly South arrival gate L

I don't think there's a ticket office at Terminal 2. I suspect if you get on at Terminal 2, you're expected to buy it from the driver, whereas if you board at Terminal 1, where there's an office right where the shuttles are parked, you're expected to buy from the office.

The person handling the luggage was different than the driver, and I did purchase from the driver at Terminal 1, as did anyone else I noticed.

I didn't really have time to do otherwise. We were among the last 5 or so passengers to board the bus (I saw the bus right there as we exited the terminal), and if we had gone into the ticket office we would have missed it.

Thanks so much for all your helpful answers. We usually arrive at Terminal 2, so I guess we'll be buying the tickets from the driver. However, I'll print up the ticket office information just in case we arrive at a different terminal. We've always arrived at Terminal 2, but with the collapse of a section a few months ago, I'm not sure where American Airlines arrives now.

Best,
Sandy
