S-Bahn tickets from the Airport to the city

Hi all,

I'll be visiting Munich again on Monday and I have a question about MVV tickets. I'll be staying 10 days (in Neuhausen) and I wanted to get a 4 circle weekly and a single or stripes to get me from the airport to the boundary of the Innenraum. Question is...do I have to jump out of the train at the first stop inside the inneraum and validate my weekly or can I validate it at the airport?

I assume I have to jump out but if anyone has any better ideas feel free to make me look stupid

Philip.

PS, I'd like to meet some new people when I'm over there. I visit like every month (to see my wonderful girlfriend) and have a good chance of starting a job there in the new year. I hope I can meet some of you nice people this time round!!

you don't validate a weekly ticket. it gets printed out with the rings and for which week. if you can buy it at the airport, then you would just need to stamp the appropriate number of strips to get you to the outermost ring where your week ticket would start.
you cannot buy a week ticket though at the ticket automat. you can only get it from either an mvv-kiosk or one of those medium-sized blue machines.

Thanks for making me look stupid elfenstar! That eases things somewhat.

they have the medium-sized blue machines at the airport, though
and if you are arriving next monday and staying for a week, then you will be here for the Neuhausen Christmas do, so you'll be able to meet lots of Toytowners there

Thanks Topsy but that's on the 16th-the bloody day I go home and I stay on bloody Schloerstrasse-right across the road from Ryans!!! It would have been an ideal time to meet people.

If you're arriving at the airport at a decent hour then go to the DB / MVV desk. There's one by the bank of all those blue machines in Terminal 1 and there's another hidden away in Terminal 2 which is kinda hard to describe how to find. Then just tell them what you want. It might take longer but save on confusion.

Could maybe do a couple of "local" sociable pints though eh, on the Tuesday? I'm easy.

Cheers grtho,
I'm all up for meeting new people over there. Which Tuesday were you referring to though, the 7th or the 14th? ('cos we have a dinner party or some such on the 7th!) A local sociable drink would be perfect though, hope we can arrange somethin'.

Possible Quiet local pints in Neuhausen, Tuesday 14th also:

Neuhausen splitters, quiet local pints: Tue 14.Dec

OK, we have often wondered about the original question, but in reverse...

Say you have a rings 1-3 isar card and a stripe ticket to get you the rest of the way to the airport... Do you need to jump out and use some stripes when you get to the last ring 3 station? Or could you get away with stamping it when you originally get on the train - using the logic that you are already covered for 1-3, so you have obviously only stamped for the remainder of the journey...

We get partnerkart aussenraum for our airport travels now which we stamp somewhere in town, so its not an issue, but still curious how it would work with the stripe card.

I would like to know the answer to that one too. Where do you stamp?

Or similarly: two S-Bahn stops is a "Kurzstrecke" right? So I only have to stamp one stripe. So if I take two stops to the edge of Zone 1 and then two stops in Zone 2, that would count as two Kurzstrecken if I did them separately. But do they do so if I do them all at once? Can I stamp both at once on or must I jump out at the second station and stamp one more stripe? My guess is that I must jump out. It would fit the "rules".

You stamp where you get on the train, you don't have to jump on and off. I've been checked a few times having done this and it's OK. You just have to have paid the total amount that is required for your journey.

Hi,
Topsy is right, it's called Anschlußkarte and if you've got a valid ticket to up to some point and want to go further, you can stamp when you border. Sadly, that is not true for the Kurzstrecke. So if you want to go one stop over the border of a ring, you can't stamp 4 till the border and additionally 1 for the next stop but have to either a) stamp 6 in the first place or b) to actually jump out and stamp the single one there.
MVV always makes for some exitement and a good excercise :)
