It's Over - The days of Metro individual tickets is going away after 119 years...

For nearly 119 years from the first opening of the Paris metro in 1900, the little rectangles of thick white paper with a black line on the back have been with Parisians. 

550 million single-trip tickets are sold every year. BUT..times must change ( I'm not happy...) and by this coming September ( 2019) a new digital systems will be set up with a plastic top-up card called Navigo Easy. Just add money to  it and tap the card at the station entrance. The fares will remain the same Euro 1.90 for a single-trip and Euro 14.90 for ten trips.
