The area of validity includes all MVV public transportation vehicles (buses, streetcars, underground (U-Bahn) and suburban trains (S-Bahn) as well as regional trains) in the entire network area. Exceptions are currently on-demand services (e.g. FLEX, RufTaxi), the BergBus and other specially marked transportation vehicles. MVVswipe is not yet available for these services.

Also excluded are all transport services that operate within the network boundaries but where the MVV tariff does not apply. These include, for example, long-distance trains (e.g. ICE, IC and EC) and the Lufthansa express bus from Munich Central Station to Munich Airport.

Journeys outside the MVV fare zone cannot be purchased in the app. Information on the network area can be found here.

Yes, you can take more people with you on your account. You can take a maximum of four additional adults (or persons under 21), eight children or a combination of adults and children. In the latter case, two children are equivalent to one adult, i.e. you can also take two adults and four children or one adult and six children.

When taking passengers with you, the user registered in the application at check-in must always travel with the passengers. The passengers must be entered in the app before check-in; it is not possible to add passengers to a trip that is already active. The other passengers must be accompanied by the registered user until they leave the vehicle (bus, streetcar, regional train) or the specially marked operating facilities (S-Bahn, U-Bahn).

The fare for an MVVswipe journey is determined for the registered customer and all fellow travellers according to the logic of the short-distance fare or the stripe card fare or U21 offer and for accompanying children according to the children's fare, depending on the fare zones travelled through and the time between check-in and check-out.

Examples:

• Person A (56 years old) is traveling from the Marienplatz stop to Munich Pasing.
  • As the person is in zone M, the fare is €3.56.
• Person B (19 years old) is traveling from the Marienplatz stop to Munich Pasing.
  • As the person is in Zone M and falls into the U21 category, the fare is €1.96.
• Person C (30 years old) travels together with person D (19 years old) and child E (9 years old) from the Munich Central Station stop to Munich Airport.
  • As the persons are moving from zone M to zone 5, the fare is €12.46 for person C, €6.86 for person D and €1.78 for child E. The total cost is €21.10.

In the case of several journeys, the customer and, if applicable, fellow travelers are always charged the so-called best price, i.e. the best combination of single or day tickets for one day.

Examples:

• Person A (56 years old) travels from the Marienplatz stop to Munich Pasing in the morning and back from Munich Pasing to Marienplatz in the afternoon.
  • The fare is €3.56 twice (Zone M), for a total of €7.12.
• Person B (56 years old) travels from the Marienplatz stop to Munich Pasing in the morning, from Munich Pasing to Marienplatz in the afternoon and from Marienplatz to the Münchner Freiheit stop in the evening.
  • The total fare is €9.70 (Zone M day ticket), as the three single journeys at €3.56 each (Zone M) would exceed the amount of the day ticket.
  • Person B can make further journeys on MVV in Zone M until the day ticket expires (6 a.m. the following day) at no additional cost.

Prices are subject to change. In case of doubt, please refer to the currently valid MVV community tariff.

If you need to transfer, you do not need to check out or check in again. You can simply remain checked in.

If you continue your journey after an interruption, the MVV-rules regarding time and distance apply. The maximum travel time is 5 hours. If you do not check out manually within 5 hours, the system will automatically check you out.

The period of validity of the travel authorization begins with the check-in in the application before entering the first vehicle used for the journey (bus, streetcar, regional train) or the specially marked operating facilities (S-Bahn, U-Bahn) and ends with the check-out in the application and leaving the last vehicle used for the journey (bus, streetcar, regional train) or leaving the specially marked operating facilities (S-Bahn, U-Bahn).

Please note: As with the conventional fare, return journeys with MVVswipe are not permitted; these also result in a new journey calculation: you will be charged for two one-way tickets.

Carry out the check-out in the usual way after noticing it. The system automatically recognizes journeys that have been made on foot, for example, and does not charge for this.

However, if you notice an error in the billing, please report this within 14 days of completing the journey via the contact options in the app or via the contact form to customer service in the “MVVswipe” category (here).
