New official rules for the RATP dated March 26, 2022
Unfortunately, the RATP has decided to make the transport of Ukrainians rather complicated.
As of March 26, the RATP has decided that certain associations will take care of issuing the first ticket on arrival if necessary and informing Ukrainians about the “Tarif solidarité Transport” (Solidarity Transport Tariff) and the terms and conditions. In an internal memo, agents were asked to no longer give “troubleshooting coupons” (free).
The associations are:
- La Croix Rouge (Red Cross):
- Gare Montparnasse :
- Reception located opposite tracks 1 to 3.
- Reception located in the waiting room located at Hall 2 level.
