Passe Navigo, the travelcard used for Metro, bus, rail, and tram access in Paris, has arrived for Apple Wallet, allowing users to use their iPhone and Apple Watch as opposed to a physical card.
Passe Navigo – the travelcard used for Metro, bus, rail, and tram journeys in Paris – has finally come to Apple Wallet, allowing users to use their iPhone and Apple Watch instead of a physical card.
Cards can be loaded with individual tickets, carnets, and weekly and monthly travelcards. The pass can also be loaded in the Apple Wallet app, allowing for easy access through Metro and train barriers as well as contactless tap access to buses and trams. The arrangement was negotiated by Apple and Île-de-France Mobilités.
Users can add value to their card via their iPhone and the following steps:
- Press the + sign at the top right
- Click on the “Transport Card and Navigo” tab
- Choose your transport ticket (single ticket, booklet of 10 t+ tickets, ticket for airports, Navigo day package)
- If you want to add another plan on your iPhone, you will have to go through the Île-de-France Mobilités application.
- Open the application
- Go to “Buy” and choose to add the ticket or pass on your iPhone or Apple Watch
- Once this is done, you can enable the Passe Navigo in the Wallet app.
