The Ile-de-France region is studying the possibility of raising the Navigo pass to 90 euros and is calling on the government to increase the companies’ contribution to avoid this scenario, according to documents seen by AFP on Sunday. Faced with financial difficulties at the regional transport body Ile-de-France Mobilités (IDFM), its president, Valéry Pecrese, had for some time floated the threat of a monthly subscription of 100 euros, down from 75.20 euros today, then said the hope was 80 euros. .

Tariff discussion is due to be presented to the IDFM board on December 7. “Government lockdown paves way for €90 Navigo pass“what if”socially unacceptable“, writes Valery Pekrese in a letter of November 25 addressed to the administrators of the structure. He notes “Unprecedented context of rising transport operating costs in the Ile-de-France region due to the energy crisis“.
Another direction envisages an increase of €80.80 if parliament votes in favor of increasing investment by companies through an amendment to the finance bill (PLF), but the government opposes this because “we lower business tax especially industrial. You have to be consistent“, explained Clément Beau, delegate of the Minister of Transport.
But “I work with Valerie Pécres every day, I know that the situation is difficult (…) I fully agree that we must find a way to help the Ile-de-France region.added the minister. “Discussions are ongoing, we will see how we can help in the coming days and weeks“, he said, recalling the aid of two billion euros that the state previously paid to the region during the Covid crisis.
