Paris Transport and Ticketing in France: real experience from chats
Short answer
Standard metro tickets do not cover travel to CDG airport or Disneyland, requiring separate fares or specific airport tickets. For groups of more than two, ride-sharing or taxis can be more economical than individual RER tickets, while frequent travelers should consider options like the Navigo Découverte or Mobilis passes.
From real experience
Metro tickets in Paris cost approximately €2.50 for a single ride, but this fare does not typically cover travel to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) or Disneyland.
For these destinations, separate tickets or passes are required. Ride-sharing services like Bolt can be more economical than the RER for journeys to CDG, especially for groups, with costs around €32 compared to €13 per person for the RER. Purchasing a travel pass may be beneficial for frequent use within Paris, depending on the duration and extent of travel.

A Navigo Jour pass is not suitable for airport to city travel on RER B to Gare de Lyon as it does not include the 'ticket aéroport'.
For a single journey from CDG airport to Gare de Lyon with transfers, a 'ticket aéroport 14' loaded onto a Navigo Easy card is recommended, costing approximately €16. This ticket covers the RER and subsequent metro/bus transfers within Paris. For groups of more than two, a taxi might be comparable in price.
