You buy your ticket and off you go - flexible and uncomplicated! Additional you get actual information, when there are disruptions on the track.

You can travel all over Munich and buy the ticket in the app – in the MVV you can buy single tickets, stripe tickets, day tickets, weekly and monthly passes, the airport-city-day-ticket (single or group), the city tour ticket or day tickets for your bike.

Ratings and reviews

Its a better app than the ones it replaced because it gives a realtime train locstion map. Unfortunately, it still suffers from the fact that it doesn't provide any valuable information as to why a stop is closed or why the train isn't running. I have to go to two different sites to discover the possible cause for cancellations and the most i can ever find is a generic message. There needs to be more realtime messaging in the app as well as for favorite routes.

Ticket and payment flow is to complicated and reacts slowly. Juts loading the selection of tickets takes up to 5 second on fast connection. There is no support for Google Pay or Paydirekt, which would speed up and really simplify the payment process, as they require no login and could approve payment quickly. I also often get issues with server connection, I made the mistake to buy stripe tickets and after I could not use them because I would get Failed to Connect with server error.

Very glitchy and cooperates with payment options intermittently. One would expect that if the ticket vending machines are poorly organized the app might be a better. The app is just as confusing. The makers for both the app and the ticket vending machines should look at models of other companies which provide a better flow for purchasing tickets. Registration these days via 3rd party provider (Google/Facebook) and payment options (GPay) should be preferred over spinning your own.

What’s new

Shopping cart function
From now on, multiple tickets can be purchased at the same time, which is particularly useful for bicycle tickets and the new 1st class supplement.

New MVV fare products
Starting in 2026, the MVV will offer 1st class supplement tickets that entitle the holder to travel throughout the network on approved regional trains. Supplements are available for a single journey and for a month. They are only valid in conjunction with a ticket valid within the MVV fare zone.
