“1 network. 1 timetable. 1 ticket.”
The Free State of Bavaria, the City of Munich and several districts within the MVV are working together under this principle.
The aim is to ensure that all timetables are well coordinated and to offer a simple, common fare system.
An MVV ticket allows passengers to use all modes of transport within the MVV area. Connections and frequencies are planned to make travel as convenient as possible.
A transport association provides a solid foundation for cooperation between transport operators and the public sector.
The association coordinates this cooperation.
A clear division of responsibilities benefits all parties involved and results in an attractive public transport system.
