Munich’s Transport Network – MVV

The city of Munich has a large public transport network consisting of S-Bahn, U-Bahn tram and bus and is made up of the Munich city area with zone M, as well as zones 1-6 for the municipalities outside Munich. 

An overview of all zones and rings can be found here, where all routes of the different means of transportation are marked. There are also individual network plans for U-Bahn & S-Bahn, tram & bus and the night line network.

Since 15.12.2019 the new tariff system has been in force in Munich and not all old ticket types are valid in the new tariff. If you have already taken out a subscription or bought a stripe ticket before, you can have it refunded or exchanged until 31.01.2020. You can find all information on the exchange and use-by periods here.

• The Munich urban area is grouped together in Zone M. Adjacent municipalities are divided into zones 1-6. Here you can check in which zone your station is located and which ticket you need for your journey.
• Single tickets, day tickets and 3-day tickets can be purchased either for zone M only, for selected zones 1-6 only or for zone M plus any number of zones.
• A “Kurzstrecke” means a short trip up to the 4^th stop, but only 2 stops with S-Bahn, U-Bahn or X-bus. The ticket for a short zone is valid for a maximum of 1 hour, the journey may be interrupted within the permitted stops. Return trips are excluded. A short trip can be bought with a single ticket or with a “Streifenkarte”, a strip ticket. The strip ticket is valid for several trips and zones and can be used at different times.
• Single and stripe cards can be stamped either for zone M, individual zones 1-6 or zones M-1 to M-6. You can find the exact tariff information here. Please note that single and strip tickets are limited in time after stamping and are valid only in one direction. Day tickets, weekly tickets and monthly tickets are valid for any number of journeys.
• Day tickets and 3-day tickets can also be purchased as group tickets for up to 5 persons.
• There is a so-called IsarCard for weekly and monthly tickets. This is also available at a reduced rate for journeys from 9 a.m. or for persons aged 60 and over. There are also special training tariffs for pupils, students and trainees.
• Carrying hand luggage, prams and taking your dog with you is free of charge.
• Bicycles may be taken along for €3.00-, but not on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6.p.m.

• In order to be able to see the next connection possibility, we recommend the timetable information of the MVV.
• You can also check this while on the move with the MVV-App.
• If you don't have the right amount of change, you can also buy the MVV-MobileTicket.
