Validating U/S-bahn tickets in Munich
Is it legal to validate MVV tickets outside their area of coverage?
I've calculated that the cheapest option for me is get a 3-day Innenraum ticket to move around, and use 1-day Aussenraum tickets to get to/from the airport. The regular way to do it would be validating the Aussenraum ticket at the airport, travel to a border station (Feldmoching), exit the train, validate the Innenraum ticket and then hurry back on the train. But if I can validate the ticket at the airport, I can just sit back and relax. Also, on lines with no border station, is an Innenraum + Aussenraum combo legal? |

Well, there's a 76 page document in German on the website describing all this- http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/de/home/f...gen/index.html "Fahrkarten des Bartarifs, die nicht bereits entwertet ausgegeben werden, müssen durch Entwerter oder durch das Betriebspersonal entwertet werden. .... Wenn keine durchgehende Fahrkarte verwendet wird, ist die Anschlussfahrkarte spätestens am Ende des örtlichen Geltungsbereichs der vorhergehenden Fahrkarte zu entwerten. " It just says you should have canceled the 2nd ticket at the latest at the end of the zone of the 1st ticket. Which logically means you could also do it at the airport when you set off. However, as we say in Germany, there is the Prussian way of interpreting rules, and the Rhineland way - meaning either if something is not allowed, it must be forbidden, or alternatively if something is not forbidden, it must be ok. I guess you could print out the document and yellow mark the sections (pp 13-14) to show the ticket controller. |
