The “2-zone” pass, as it sounds, gives you (unlimited) travel in just two selected zones - of your choice. There are two versions of the card: "all zones" and 'two zones". The first time you buy, you have to pay a €5 for the card itself and then you buy a week or month's worth of transportation that is loaded onto the card. It's reusable so if you return to Paris you can load up fares onto the same card. Most visitors will go for the weekly fare. The smart card stores electronically the fare product you choose. The Navigo is an electronic smart card similar to schemes introduced recently worldwide into mass transit systems, allowing you unlimited use of the public transport networks in the zones you have selected. So if you arrive on the Friday wanting to use one for that weekend - you cannot. The key point about this product is that the week runs Monday to Sunday, with the last day for sale of the week you are in being on the Thursday. If you add on the cost of the photos needed for the pass, you're looking at nearly €30 and that will buy you two books of 20 carnets - twenty trips. In many cases for the average traveller, the carnets (above) will still work out cheaper.

The cardboard magnetic strip gets easily demagnitised and can no longer work and there are better electronic solutions now available. The reasoning is that these types of tickets often get lost, so not all the tickets are used as one is put away somewhere and lost. From October 2021 there will be a slow phasing out of this ticket type. The cardboard t+ ticket packs of 10 are being replaced. You can also buy from the same sources a booklet of ten, called a carnet (pronounced kar-nay), offering good savings. Single tickets can be purchased from metro/RER stations, some bus terminals, and registered retailers, usually tobacconists and bookshops, displaying the RATP sign. Tickets purchased individually or in packages of 10 are permanently valid for single use and are issued without an expiration date.
You are allowed up to two hours for metro and RER after validation and 90 minutes for buses and trams. if you were using the tram you would remain on the tram system), as long as you do not 'exit' the transport system.
