When can I start using my Pass? Until when is it valid?

The Pass validity begins when you make your first purchase at a participating site. When the QR Code on your e-ticket is scanned by a customer service assistant at the participating site, this will automatically trigger the 3-day countdown. Your Toulouse Tourism Pass app displays the remaining duration in real time in the “My Passes” tab.

NB: If you purchase the transport option, your 10 free trips can be made without any time limit. In a single trip you may use up to 4 different services within a period of 1 hour from the first validation. Please note that if you make a return trip, or resume your journey on the same line, this will count as 2 separate trips.

Do I have to print my e-ticket?

No, you are not obliged to print your e-ticket. You can either:

Option 1: Open your e-ticket attached to the e-mail confirming your purchase and show this to the customer service assistants at participating sites.
Option 2: Download the Toulouse Tourism Pass app and link it to your Pass:
