Public Transportation
Munich has a dense network of S- and U-Bahn, tram and bus lines which make it comfortable and easy for visitors to get around the city. The disadvantage is that all line run together in the city centre which means that you have to take a detour through the city in order to get into one of the suburban regions. During the night normal lines are not operating but there are night lines for busses and trams. The transport runs from 5 am to 1 am and on Saturdays and public holidays until 2.30 am. The comprehensive transport network is run by the Münchener Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund GmbH (MVV). Tickets are available at the blue ticket machines and from ticket outlets. They must be validated at special machines. Some of the new trams, however, pre-validated tickets are available. Both 1-day and 3-day passes are available and up to five adults travelling together can save money by buying group tickets (Partner Tickets).
by bus
There are over 40 bus lines in Munich whereas city busses have three figured numbers and operate only on short distances and metro busses with two figured numbers cover long distances.
Munich
by tram
There are 7 different tram lines which operate through the entire city. The tram is a nice way to discover the city since some ways have a high touristy value because they pass many sights.
Munich
U-Bahn
The underground operates every 3 to 10 minutes and is one of the best options to discover the city. The network inside the city is dense while the outskirts are barely covered.
S-Bahn
S-Bahn lines connect the city centre with the numerous suburbs and the airport. Usually it goes every 20 minutes but at busy times during the day some lines operate even every 10 minutes. All lines come together between the train station Ostbahnhof and Donnersbergerbrücke.
Taxis
Taxis are usually beige Mercedes and can be safely hailed on the street. Taxi-München (Tel.: (01733) 825 038) is the central dispatching service. A tip of 5-10% is common practice.
