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.
Navigo already offered support for topping up the pass direct from the iPhone app, but it was not previously possible to add the card to the Wallet app …
Passe Navigo
The Passe Navigo is a contactless smart card used to electronically store tickets and passes for travel in the Île-de-France region, which covers Paris and surrounding areas.
Cards can be loaded with individual tickets, carnets, and weekly and monthly travelcards.
Now available in the Wallet app
The pass can now be loaded in the Apple Wallet app, enabling residents and visitors to use their iPhone and Apple Watch to pass through Metro and train barriers, and touch in to buses and trams.
The move has been a long-awaited one, with negotiations required between Apple and Île-de-France Mobilités.
Tech journalist Nicolas Lellouche shared a video of the first use of an iPhone to pass through a Metro station barrier.
BFMTV explains how to add a card to your iPhone.
- 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)
- Pay with Apple Pay
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.
