Navigo card

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Navigo pass is a means of payment for public transportation introduced in the Paris region in 2001. It is implemented as a Smart Card with the Calypso system, and enables authentified payment at turnstiles by waving the card near an electronic reader.

As of 2005, the Navigo pass is available for travel within zones one and two of the Paris transportation region for Carte Orange subscriptions. It is planned to replace the magnetic-strip-based Carte Orange in the rest of the zones shortly.
