transport pass

Is the carte orange pass still available for tourists? heard it was being phased out.

Nope, it hasn%26#39;t been phased out.... things don%26#39;t happen that quickly in France... :)

How I love the English language - you%26#39;re both right.





sanjoy - yes it is being phased out (the action is in process)





travelnutty - no it hasn%26#39;t been phased out (the process hasn%26#39;t finished)

yeah -OK



but the point is can still buy it? will be in paris from 29th agust for 5 days.

Yes, you can still buy it. It will not completely disappear until some as yet unspecified date in 2007. You should know that there was a slight price increase effective July 1. The Zone 1-2 Carte Orange now costs 16€, and the cost of the CO for other Zones increased similarly at that date. You know, no doubt, that you will need a small photo for the CO.

thanks a lot



but in case some one refuses to sell the CO what do i do? can i try another agent? does it work?



is it better if i ask the agent in french?

In the unlikely event that they refuse to sell it to you, you would need to go to either another entrance of the same station or another station. Just moving to the next window wont work as the other rep will be aware that they refused to sell it to you.
