If you have a limited budget, there are a number of ways in which you can benefit from rates that better suit your situation.
Public transport
M réso in Grenoble
Rate for students aged 18 to 25
A reduced rate applies to young people aged 18 to 25 inclusive.
To qualify, you must show proof of enrolment at university, such as your 'certificat de scolarité'.
If you do not yet have it, you can present proof of admission to university, until you can provide proof of enrolment. Tarif 18 - 25 ans Études - M réso
"Tarification solidaire" (solidarity-based fare system)
The solidarity-based fare system ("tarification solidaire") entitles you to reduced fares depending on your resources and situation.
In particular, you can benefit from the "tarification solidaire" if:
You are a CAF beneficiary: the amount shown on your "quotient familial" certificate will determine the solidarity-based pricing formula you are eligible for.
Please note: if you are under 25 years of age, you will also need to present a French tax certificate in addition to your "quotient familial" certificate. In this case, you will only be able to benefit from the "tarification solidaire" from the second year of residence in France, and once you have obtained a tax notice.
In order to know what documents to provide, and for more information on the situations in which you can access the 'tarification solidaire', you can consult the M réso website before going to a mobility agency.
Reduced fares apply automatically if you are under 26 years old.
If you are over 26, you will have to prove that your income does not exceed a certain threshold.
Please consult the Valence Romans Mobilités website before visiting one of the Mobilities agencies.
If you use public transport for your daily commute between your home and your place of work, your employer will subsidize part (up to 75%) of the cost of your travel pass.
A simple and pleasant way of getting around at a lower cost is by bike.
