Paris Metro tickets to double during '24 Olympics 

A single journey metro ticket will cost €4 for the period from July 20 to Sept. 8, adding that residents of the region with a usual monthly or yearly pass will not be affected.

Paris Metro ticket prices will almost double during the 2024 Olympics, the French capital region's president said Tuesday, adding that residents with passes would be shielded from the temporary rise and visitors would be charged "a fair price".

The mayor of Paris warned last week that public transport services, which are provided by the regional authority, would be insufficient during the events. The Olympics will be held from July 26 to Aug. 11 and the Paralympics from Aug. 28 to Sept 8.
