In a five-kilometer radius in Munich, you will travel more quickly on a bike than by any other means of transport. With approximately 1,200 kilometers of marked bike lanes and some 22,000 bike stands, Munich’s infrastructure is first-rate.
You definitely won’t need a car since public transportation is so efficient, and parking spaces are very limited within Munich.
The Münchner Verkehrsverbund (MVV), Munich’s public transportation authority, offers an extensive and very reliable public transportation network of buses, trams, subways (U-Bahn), and local trains (S-Bahn). The network within Munich is called the MVG. You will find complete details in multiple languages on connections, prices, timetables, route planning, and everything else on the MVV website, including specific information for students.
MVV also offers a season ticket for the city’s public transportation network. Every LMU student who is registered at LMU and has paid the obligatory semester fee will benefit from this ticket, which entitles you to travel within the MVV network (zones M–6) at the following times only:
Be sure to carry your student ID with the MVV logo on it and an official photo ID at all times when using public transport.
More information on the semester ticket is available on the MVV website.
