Thank you so much. We just returned from Munich and we were so glad we'd watched your video. It really helped understand the different transport. We managed to get our tickets but still struggled with which platform and train to get on. Thankfully the kind German public rescued us on more than one occasion!!
Indeed, the trains in Munich can be complicated, partly due to the variety of services offered. I'm glad to hear this video was helpful and that your Munich train adventure went well!
May I ask what the issue was? There are maps everywhere. In every station platform and in every train above every door. The only confusing thing is the S1 to the airport and there are verbal announcements for at least 5 stops thst you should switch wagons if you want to go the airport or to the town Freising.
There were vertical maps on the walls that we found confusing. Not the traditional network map type but ones that listed the town names that told you which line to get on. Yes, there were signs EVERYWHERE. It was overwhelming at first but we were getting better at it as the week went on. It was a learning curve, at least for us😊. I'm not knocking it. It was a great transport system. It was just a lot to learn.
@@lblades43 ah yes. These are mainly used in the U-Bahn/underground. I've seen them in many cities around the world and they would benefit from a mini network map with the branch highlighted. So you know which platform goes where, after you studied the transport map.
I watched many videos but not clear.. You are the one who makes the video crystal cut clear and easy understanding.. you will reach Million subscribers soon.. Thanks mate🎉😍😍
Very well done. I was hoping to see an example of validating the 10-ride strip ticket but i guess I need to validate, fold it, and validate the next part as I go.
That's a good idea. I actually did a research on local transit apps before my trip. There are a few apps but no clear standout at that time. Which app do you recommend?
@@RoamingGooseas of right now there are only two. It's a matter of preference, really. "München Navigator".(green icon) and "MVGO" (blue). They offer virtually the same services. Maps, live connections to your destinations and the purchase of tickets
Hi! I haven't tried buses or trams in Munich, but they are operated by MVV. From what I understand, you'll need to validate your ticket on board the bus or tram.
You don't. Online tickets are valid 3 minutes after the purchase (the 3 minutes are about people buying a ticket only when they see ticket validation staff)
Thanks mate! It really helped a lot with understing the public transit system.
Thank you! Your feedback encourages me to create more content like this. 😊
Informative helpful video. You are a lifesaver!
Thank you! Glad to hear that!
Very well done. Munich has one of the best transportation systems of any place I have visited.

Thank you 🙏 . I used the 10-ride strip tickets many years ago. Yes, you need to validate each ticket.
Very beautifully explained.
Thank you so much! 😄
0:42... as a Driver of the Suburban Railway system, i can confirm that the "U-Bahn" (The red train) is the S-Bahn. :)
Thanks for pointing this out. And at 0:43 the "S-Bahn" should be U-Bahn, right?
@@RoamingGooseyeah, and i live in munich and know that it‘s odeonspl. station.
@@RoamingGoose Yes
great guide!!! Thanks
Thanks your video is well explained and helpful.
Hi thank you for the video. do you know if the U-Bahn /S-Bahn stations have elevators? I'll travel with a wheelchair.
Hello! I believe all S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations have elevators.
@@RoamingGoose any transportation advice for wheelchair users? How about taxi or Uber, is there a Taxi or ride share you could recommend? Thanks
@@luvmycupcakes8192 Not all stations, but they should be marked on the maps
I think one thing missing on this video is the apps that you can use to find your route or buy tickets
That's a good idea. I actually did a research on local transit apps before my trip. There are a few apps but no clear standout at that time. Which app do you recommend?
@@RoamingGoose MVGO
@@RoamingGoose as a German and Bavarian I would say the DB Navigator or the local apps "MVV-App" or "MVG Fahrinfo"
@@RoamingGooseas of right now there are only two. It's a matter of preference, really.
"München Navigator".(green icon) and "MVGO" (blue).
They offer virtually the same services. Maps, live connections to your destinations and the purchase of tickets
MVV-App, MVGO-App, DB-Navigator
Very good video. Thank you!
So the group ticket is present for both s bahn and u bahn ? Please reply as soon as possible.
Yes, from a ticket standpoint there is no difference between U-Bahn and S-Bahn (as well as bus and tram). It's all connected.
So s Bahn ticket does not work for bus and u bahn?
In case you still need the answer - no, the ticket types are the same within the MVV, so including the S-Bahn. They just look a little different.
Hi, what about buses and trams? is the process of getting tickets the same?
Hi! I haven't tried buses or trams in Munich, but they are operated by MVV. From what I understand, you'll need to validate your ticket on board the bus or tram.
How would you validate an online ticket? We would buy ours from the MVV app.
You don't. Online tickets are valid 3 minutes after the purchase (the 3 minutes are about people buying a ticket only when they see ticket validation staff)
@@borstenpinsel Thanks. We used the U-Bahn and Trams on our visit. Worth every Euro in our opinion.
thanks
Hello, thank you for the video. Can I get a Deutschland-Ticket to use Munich transport ? Thanks :)
Yes, which is great, because it's cheaper than any other monthly ticket and can be used everywhere.
