Relaxed from the Airport to the inner city Landed safely what now? From Munich Airport, S-Bahn lines S1 and S8 run to the city centre. They run alternately every 10 minutes, with the S1 going via Munich West and the S8 via Munich East. The trip takes around 40 minutes. Takeoff. Well planned! You can use the Airport-City Day Ticket for your trip to the airport, which is available from the ticket machines at most S-Bahn stations. Up to 5 people may travel with the group version of the ticket. The Entire Network Day Ticket can be used for the same purpose, and since it is not automatically validated upon purchase this ticket can also be bought in advance when you re planning your trip. If you live close to the airport, the Outer District Day Ticket would be a cheaper option. Alternatively you can use a Single Trip Ticket or a Stripe Ticket.

Good to know For: Single Tickets and Stripe Tickets The Zones The price of single trips and the number of stripes to validate on a stripe ticket depend on how many of the four zones within the MVV region you are travelling through. You need to count the number of zones you pass through in order to find out the right price for your ticket. For example, if you leave one zone in the north and then enter it again in the south, this zone will count twice. From four zones on the price remains the same. You must know the exact number of zones you need before you buy a Single Trip Ticket because it s available for one, two, three or four zones. With the Stripe Ticket adults have to validate two stripes per zone. Example: the journey from the airport to Olympiazentrum crosses four zones. So you would need a Single Ticket for four zones or to validate eight stripes of your Stripe Ticket. The Zones 4 zones For: Short Trips The Short Trip You take one or two stops by S- or U-Bahn or -Bus, then maybe another one or two by bus or tram. Or you take the tram or bus for up to four stops from the point of departure. These are called short trips for which you buy a Short Trip Single Ticket. In the districts outside Munich, every bus journey within the district boundary is classified as a short trip. Of course, you can also validate one stripe of the Stripe Ticket instead of buying a Short Trip Single Ticket. You can even interrupt your journey, provided that you do not exceed the maximum travel time of one hour that is the validity of the ticket. Example: to go from Ostbahnhof (East Station) to Maxmonument, you travel two stops on the S-Bahn (urban rail) to Isartor and two stops on tram service 18 to Maxmonument. So it s a journey of four stops, of which only two involve the S-Bahn the short trip tariff applies. getting on getting off white green yellow red For: Day Tickets The Areas The inner zone, which covers the whole of Munich city and certain surrounding areas, is called the Inner District. It is shaded white on our maps. The three other zones are collectively known as the Outer District. The white and the green areas are referred to as Munich L. The Areas Munich L Inner District Outer District Entire Network Validation Single Trip Tickets, Stripe Tickets and Day Tickets must be stamped prior to the start of your journey. These tickets only become valid for travel once they have been validated.

For: IsarCard Weekly and monthly passes The Rings We have broken the MVV network down into 16 rings for our weekly and monthly passes. The price is based on the number of rings you will travel through. You can use all lines in all directions within your chosen rings. Example: if you live in Haar and buy a weekly or monthly pass for rings 1-4, this ticket enables you to travel within the entire Inner District as your ticket covers rings 1-4. Validity of the IsarCard Weekly Pass The weekly pass is valid on seven consecutive days. Furthermore, the ticket remains valid until 12 noon on the next day. Rules on who or what you are permitted to travel with: Children under the age of 6 travel for free, provided that they are accompanied by someone over 6. One dog travels free of charge if you have a valid ticket. The animal must be kept on a leash and wear a muzzle if it could be a risk to other passengers. Each additional dog requires a children s ticket if not travelling in a basket or a bag.
