In-Depth Information
Short rides (Kurzstrecke; four bus or tram stops; or two U-Bahn or S-Bahn stops) cost
€1.20, longer trips cost €2.50. Children aged six to 14 pay a flat €1.20 regardless of the
length of the trip. Day passes are €5.60 for individuals and €10.20 for up to five people
travelling together. Three-day passes are €13.80/23.70. There's also a weekly pass called
IsarCard, which costs €18.20 but is only valid from Monday to Sunday - if you buy on
Wednesday, it's still only good until Sunday. Bikes costs €2.50 and may only be taken
aboard U-Bahn and S-Bahn trains, but not during the 6am to 9am and 4pm to 6pm rush
hours.
Bus drivers sell single tickets and day passes but tickets for the U-/S-Bahn and other
passes must be purchased from vending machine at stations or MVV offices. Tram tickets
are available from vending machines aboard. Most tickets must be stamped (validated) at
station platform entrances and aboard buses and trams before use. The fine for getting
caught without a valid ticket is €40.
Taxi
Taxis cost €2.90 at flag fall (€3.90 if ordered by phone), plus €1.40 to €1.60 per kilometre
and are not much more convenient than public transport. Luggage is charged at €0.50 per
piece. Ring a taxi on 216 10 or 194 10. Taxi ranks are indicated on the city's tourist map.
