Follow-up trips

A connecting ticket extends the validity of an existing ticket or season ticket if the desired destination lies outside its area of validity, and allows you to continue your journey easily to your new destination.

If you are travelling to a destination outside your ticket zone, you will need a connecting ticket to continue your journey.

There are suitable connection options for every type of ticket – such as single tickets, multi-journey tickets, day tickets, short-distance tickets or, in the case of season tickets, a special connection ticket for season tickets.

The connecting ticket must be validated at the latest at the last stop within your ticket’s validity zone, either at the start of your journey or when changing trains.

Connecting ticket for season tickets

For season ticket and subscription holders, there is a special connecting ticket, available from ticket machines or as a mobile ticket. It

  • takes into account zones already paid for,
  • is valid for a single journey in the direction of your destination (changes are permitted, but return journeys are not),
  • is valid for 3 hours,
  • does not include free travel for children,
  • must be purchased before reaching the fare boundary and is only valid in conjunction with the existing season ticket.

Example

Anyone holding a Zone M monthly pass and travelling to the airport (Zone 5) must supplement their journey with a connecting ticket for Zones 1–5 (from a ticket machine) or for 5 zones outside Zone M (via HandyTicket).

Travelling on regional trains with MVV tickets

MVV tickets are valid in 2nd class on many regional trains (DB Regio, Länderbahn, Südostbayernbahn, BRB, Go-Ahead Bayern) within the MVV area.

They are valid up to the last scheduled stop within the MVV area or from the first stop within the MVV area.

Journeys to stations outside the MVV area

Example: A season ticket is valid as far as Althegnenberg.

  • If the regional train stops there, the ticket is valid as far as Althegnenberg; a DB ticket is required for the onward journey to Augsburg.
  • If the train does not stop there (e.g. the last stop is Munich-Pasing), the MVV season ticket is only valid as far as Munich-Pasing; a DB ticket is required from Munich-Pasing onwards.

This rule applies in both directions (traffic ‘leaving’ and ‘entering’ the area).

Journeys to stations within the MVV area

For journeys within the MVV fare zone, it does not matter whether the train stops at a boundary station.
The key point is:
a connecting ticket is required if the journey extends beyond the zone covered by your season ticket.

Example:
A season ticket for Zone M is valid as far as Stockdorf.

  • A journey on the regional train to Tutzing requires a connecting ticket for the Stockdorf–Tutzing section,
  • even if the train does not stop at Stockdorf.
  • The connecting ticket must be purchased and validated before the journey begins.

Important: Connecting tickets cannot be purchased on the train.
