Transportation Question

Looking into buying a MVV ticket for the time we are in Munich and I have some question I thought you guys might be able to answer.

1. I believe we will just be traveling in the inter city, which tick should I get the Munich XXL (München XXL) - white and green zone or the 3 Days Inner District - white zone?

2. Would these tickets be good for all the local forms of city transportation? Such as S-ban, U-ban, and Bus?

3. With the fest going on would it even be worth it to use the city transportation system or should we just stick to feet and taxi?

#1. In my humble opinion, buy the tickets daily, that way you know which zones to get. And always get a Partner Day Ticket, it covers up to 5 people traveling together; best value ever.

If you haven't gone to the MVV site yet, go here ---> http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/home/tickets/ticketoffers/index.html

All the ticket info you would ever need.

Helpful as always Chugger, thanks!!! I currently am paging through the BDG2M looking for more information. (I love this book!)

Nothing better than BDG2M; aka "The World according to Larry".

Also, to answer your other questions...

#2. Tickets good for just about everything.

#3. No problem on the S/U-Bahn. Will be crowded at night, though.

Taxis are a good tactical move, but I agree with Chugger, make your primary travel on the S-Bahn and U-Bahn. Even though they can get crowded near the fest, they are reliable and quick.
