Munich has one of the best and easiest-to-use public transport systems in Europe. While you can buy single tickets and "stripe tickets" (see the MVV website), the best deal for most tourists is to purchase a day card. When you're ready to first use your card, validate it ("entwerten") in one of the machines in the stations before you board a U or S-Bahn (Machines are onboard buses and trams). Then you're done! Just keep the ticket on you, and you're free to ride the public transport system for the rest of the day (prices as of 1 July 2008):
Single Tageskarte Innenraum: Good for 1 person, covers downtown and most of the parts of Munich you're interested in (the "white zone" on transit maps).
EUR 5.
Partner Tageskarte Innenraum: Same as the single, only valid for 2-5 people.
EUR 9.
Single Tageskarte Munich XXL: Covers the "white" and "green" zones. Covers some areas outside of Munich, such as Dachau.
EUR 6.70.
Partner Tageskarte Munich XXL: Same as single... you get the idea.
EUR 11.80.
Single Tageskarte Aussenraum: Covers everything EXCEPT the inner (white) zone.
EUR 5.
Partner Tageskarte Aussenraum: EUR 9.
Single Tageskarte Gesamtnetz: Covers the entire MVV transport system, including the airport. EUR 10.
Partner Tageskarte Gesamtnetz: EUR 18.
3-Day Ticket Inner District: Valid for 3 days within the white zone. If you want to travel outside the white zone, you can either purchase a ticket that covers the journey outside of the white zone, OR purchase an Aussenraum day ticket (innenraum + aussenraum = entire network). A single 3-day ticket costs EUR 12.30, while a partner 3-day ticket costs EUR 21.
Day tickets can be purchased at one of the many ticket machines, or in person at a ticket office. 3-day tickets must be purchased at a ticket office.
One final note: your ticket isn't always checked. But it isn't worth the risk: checks are frequent, and it's a EUR 40 fine for a first offense.

Once at the Airport you can conveniently reach Munich by the local transportation system. Visitors can buy a 1 day or 3 day Welcome Card. This allows unlimited use of the U-bahn, S-Bahn, Bus lines, Trams and also gets you up to 50% discounts at museums and other tourist attractions. The card can be purchased at the Tourist Info office at the airport. Very inexpensive, 15.50E per person, or 43.00E for up to 5 people for the three day pass. It is the way to travel Munich. An easy to read color coded map is supplied along with a tourist guide book to Munich. They have got it together! Leave a Comment

Munich has a great tram network, they run all over the city and they are the best way to see many wonderful sights of Munich.
Take the tram 19 which runs through Maximilianstrasse to see Stachus, the opera house, the Bavaria parliament (Maximilianeum) and much more! Leave a Comment

The public transport at Munich is just the best I have seen. Ok I have not been everywhere in this world ... but I am sure that few cities can have better public transport. You don't need a car here.
People use to go in bike, but if you want to go in public transport you have trams, underground, buses, trains ...all perfectly organice for a perfect combination to get anywhere.
There are lost of kinds of bonus with wich you can take, for single, for week, for partner, for children, for weekend ...
I have the prices of last year ... so better you see the new fares at the web
The first time you use the bonus you must validate it ... after that ... you will get in any transport and no one will see if you have ticket or not... but ... better have your ticket :)) Leave a Comment

Munich Altstadt (Old Town) is very easy to navigate on foot. For trips to outlaying areas like the Olympiapark, Studentenstadt, the Theresienwiese park for Oktoberfest, etc. trains, trams or buses offer quick and convenient connections. Daily tickets are available. If you plan to stay in Munich a week or more, plan to purchase a travel pass (Zeitkarte). For this you will need to show your passport and have 2 photos. Zeitkarten are purchased at the ticket office marked ZEITKARTENSTELLE at the Main Station (Hauptbahnhof) or the East Station (Ostbahnhof). While there pick up this handy transportation guide: Easy Going. It contains a route map and explains the ticket automats in 9 languages. Leave a Comment

Munich has a very good subway (U-Bahn, U1-U8) system and you can reach nearly every place in inner downtown and the outskirts of downtown by subway. Get a little map of the Munich subway lines at the ticket counters or kiosk or the munich traffic office (Münchner Verkehr und Tarif Verbund MVV). A multi-day ticket is often more cost efficient than the expensive “Streifenkarten” (stripe-cards). Most lines start to run around 5 in the morning and run until aroun 1 at night. Note that some lines do not run between around 2 and 5 at night. This can be troublesome if you go to a discotheque or bar and later notice that you have to walk home or take an expensice taxi. Most information on Munich public transport, the S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Busses and regional trains you canget a Munich’s central station “Hauptbahnhof”. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

The U-Bahn ("bahn" means train) is what Germans call their subway system. The S-Bahn refers to the suburban trains that run outside of the city center and can be accessed from the U-Bahn lines (U1- U8). The trains run frequently during peak times, but even at off peak times there is a train around every 10 minutes. A single ticket costs 2.10 Euros and a day ticket (includes the inner zone) costs 4.50. I was able to get around Munich mostly on foot, but I did use the trains to get to and from the airport and a few other times to get around. The maps were easy to read and the trains were clean and efficient. Leave a Comment

S-bahn, U-bahn and lots of trams and buses make an absolutely great system of transportation !
All of the S-bahn-trains S1 - S8 run through the centre of Munich and Hackerbrücke -shown on my pic - is the best place to leave the train for Theresienwiese & Oktoberfest !
There is a U-bahn-station directely at Theresienwiese - also called "Theresienwiese" - but it is a lot more crowded and you have to "fight" to get in or out at the station...
Normally I take a dayticket for the inner circle ( Tageskarte für den Innenraum ) - good for all transportations between Ostbahnhof , Olympiapark and Pasing.
Only when you intend to go to the airport , to Dachau, Starnberg and other places - you need a ticket for the whole area
Controls are made quite often, also and especially during Oktoberfest - and these people may not be recognized by a uniform ( but sometimes by the way they behave before entering a train) !!!
