Should I buy a monthly Pass Navigo for metro/bus transit?
MPublic transportation in Paris is extensive and efficient. When you arrive, the Senior Student Coordinator can help you purchase a monthly Pass Navigo, which functions much like the CTA Chicago Card. Most students choose to purchase the pass, given the savings if you move around the city enough. Your decision depends on how frequently you plan to use the metro/bus system.
