The Paris public transport company has announced the final stop to the sale of traditional paper metro tickets after their use for over 125 years. The decision is part of a gradual transition to electronic tickets and smart cards as part of a comprehensive overhaul of the French capital's transport systems. The sale of paper tickets officially ended the day before yesterday. This step marks the final phase of the reduction in points of sale for paper tickets. The company had cancelled the sale of the '10-ticket pack' two years ago, which was sold at a discounted price and was a preferred option for tourists. The company clarified that those who still have unused paper tickets can use them until next year and can also exchange them later. The company stated that the abolition of paper tickets, which first appeared with the opening of the first Paris metro line 125 years ago, aims to reduce the environmental impact caused by the manufacturing and recycling of paper tickets.
