Which regulations apply to my family?
Families within the Munich city area (postal codes 80000–81999):
For families within the city area (postal codes 80000–81999), the regulations for state-funded school transport apply.
If the requirements are met, the costs are generally covered by the City of Munich or the Free State of Bavaria.
Depending on your situation, your child may be eligible for:
- School bus / passenger transport
- MVV / 365-euro ticket
Families outside the city area:
Different conditions apply to families outside the city area. The city will assess on a case-by-case basis which transport solution is appropriate, for example:
- School bus
- Alternative transport (e.g., taxi or shuttle service)
- MVV / 365-euro ticket
You may also choose to organize your child’s journey to school independently.
Cost regulations for families outside the city area:
Families outside the city area are required to contribute 20% of the transport costs calculated by the city.
Billing is transparent and carried out individually per child. If the city provides a school bus, no additional costs will be incurred.

Registration period: 05. – 22. May, 2026
After the deadline, timely organization (e.g., securing a bus seat or ticket at the start of the school year) cannot be guaranteed.
General information:
According to § 3 para. 2 SchBefV, transport should primarily be provided using public transport.
In line with legal requirements, transportation is to be carried out primarily using public transport (ÖPNV). A school bus will only be used if it is necessary or more economical overall. Due to the excellent connections of the primary school (Fasangarten S-Bahn station), students in grades P3 and P4 are encouraged to travel to school using the 365-euro ticket.
Please note that there is only an entitlement to either a school bus or the 365-euro ticket. There is no entitlement to both.
