The Navigo card () is a contactless smart card used to travel on public transport in Paris and Île-de-France. The card is scanned at turnstiles and readers to validate a ticket or pass. The card is based on the Calypso standard, initially implemented with Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, before transitioning to Near-field communication (NFC) technology. The card can be obtained via ticket windows, ticket machines, and apps such as Île-de-France Mobilités, Apple Wallet, and Samsung Wallet. Public transport fares in the Île-de-France can be loaded via the same methods.
