Public Transport / MVV 365-euro ticket

MVV / 365-Euro Ticket

The 365-euro ticket is an annual pass offered by the Munich Transport Company (MVG) for students and serves as a flexible alternative to the school bus.

It is valid 24/7, on all 365 days of the school year, including during leisure time, throughout the entire MVV network.

Who is eligible for a free MVV / 365- Euro Ticket?

Eligibility generally applies based on the following distances:

• • P1-P4: more than 2 km
  • From P5: more than 3 km (S6/S7: please read S6/S7 sections below)

The decisive factor is the shortest walking route to school (one way).

The calculation is usually done via Google Maps or the Bavarian Spatial Information System (RISBy).
