How do "Solidarity rates" work?

M
Written by Marc Alcaraz

Since travelling is a fundamental right, YEGO has decided to follow the initiative of Île-de-France Mobilités (the Île-de-France region's transport organising authority) by greatly reducing the transport costs for "Tarification Solidarité Transport" beneficiaries, students who receive a State scholarship, and people who are 55 years old or older.
​
In Paris, we offer:
​
(i) a 75% solidarity discount on all rides for holders of a "Tarification Solidarité Transport" card.
​
This is reserved solely for:
​

  • Recipients of the "Revenu de Solidarité Active" (RSA) below the income ceiling defined by Île-de-France Mobilités and members of their households.

  • Unemployed people receiving both the "Allocation de Solidarité spécifique" (ASS) and the "Complémentaire Santé Solidaire without financial participation"* (CSS, formerly CMU-C). (The CSS is granted, depending on the case, with or without financial participation. Only beneficiaries of CSS without financial participation can benefit from the Tarification Solidarité Transport).
    ​

  • Veterans and victims of war with a double blue or double red bar ONAC card and their accompanying person.
    ​

  • Veterans and victims of war who hold an ONAC card with a single red bar.
    ​

  • Those accompanying a person with a Disability Card (CI) or Mobility Inclusion Card (CMI) with the additional note "Besoin d’accompagnement" ("Need for assistance").
    ​
    It's easy to benefit from this service and there's no advance payment. To request it:
    ​
    ​

  • Contact us by email at: TarificationsSolidaires@rideyego.com;
    ​

  • Attach proof of your "Tarification Solidarité Transport" card.
    ​
    In accordance with the regulation concerning the conservation of data, this proof must be sent before the 10th of each month for monthly renewal.
    ​
    The rate only starts from the moment YEGO confirms the activation upon the person's request. It is not retroactive.
    ​
    ii) A 35% solidarity discount on all rides for students with a State scholarship.
    ​
    It's easy to benefit from this service and there's no advance payment. To request it:

    ​

  • Contact us by email at: TarificationsSolidaires@rideyego.com;
    ​

  • Attach the notification of the Scholarship award and the grant certificate, available on the paper form, completed and stamped by your institution.
    ​
    In the event of a proven false declaration, the holder and the payer are liable to criminal prosecution under article 441-1 et seq. of the French Penal Code.
    ​
    In accordance with the regulations concerning the conservation of data, the receipt must be sent before the 10th of each month for monthly renewal.
    ​
    The rate only starts from the moment YEGO confirms the activation upon the person's request. It is not retroactive.

    1. Solidarity discounts
    ​
    Turin will follow the Paris model almost entirely, with local rates:
    ​
    Students (youth card): -15%
    Scholarship holders: -35%
    Precarious situation / disability: -75% (people looking for employment, assistants to individuals with disabilities, war veterans)
    55+ years old: -25%
    TPL zone (metropolitan area): €6 or 3 min of monthly Wallet credit, pending check on whether this can accumulate
    €6 discount on any monthly subscription plan
    OR the equivalent of 3 minutes credited to the YEGO Wallet each month for users who provide proof of an annual subscription. Technically, this could be considered as a Plan of €3 monthly credit, to be used within the month and renewed every month (non-cumulative).
    Experimental reduction: not valid at night
    Users who use YEGO as part of an intermodal journey, between 5:00 a.m. and midnight, receive 2 free minutes, valid for 24 hours only. Effective once a day max.
    Eligibility would be based on whether the trip starts or ends near a public transport stop, major train station, or other priority mobility hub/area (configured by the City Manager?).
    We could use the Liste de Pôles Prioritaires (e.g. train stations) already available to determine eligibility.
    ​
    Note: Discounts cannot be stacked. If eligible for more than one category, the highest single discount applies.
