Public transportation

Only disabled people with a valid German token in their disabled people pass can use all services of the MVV (U-Bahn (subway) and S-Bahn (suburban train), tram (streetcar) and bus) for free.

Here is an overview of the suburban trains, metro and regional trains: Information on accessibility in the suburban, underground and regional train network and Information on accessibility of tram stops with indications on the barrier free accessibility, which can be found in the MVV-leaflet „Barrierefreier Zugang“. Please watch the height indications, which can vary between the transportation device and the platform: for example at Harthof (2-7 cm), Scheidplatz (8-13 cm) or Riem (24-30 cm). Assistance with boarding or disembarking is provided by the train driver if necessary, so use the first door behind the driver.

You can order an overview of the U-Bahn and S-Bahn networks also in braille: mediablis, In den Kirschen 1, 80992 München, phone +49 (0) 89 17905-283, E-mail www.mediablis-bayern.de -> Kontakt. 

The exit side of the U- and S-Bahn is usually on the left. In case of deviation, it is announced and displayed in the suburban trains and the newer subways.

At underground stations with a greater difference in height between the platform and the carriage floor, you will find a yellow ramp at the front of the platform from which you can board more easily at the 1st door.

Busses and trams are equipped with folding ramps and/or elevating platforms. Both have a max. weight of 300 kg. Indicate to the driver that you need these aids by waving.  They are only approved for wheelchairs, not for rollators or other walking aids!

At platforms and accesses towards the U-Bahn stations as much as at S-Bahn stations, bus and streetcar stations you will find tactile detectible strips of ribbed slabs for blind and sight impaired passengers.

At a few streetcar stops, the platform is raised almost to the floor of the carriage. If necessary, the driver places a mobile folding ramp over the gap.

Site plans of Munich's U- and S-Bahn stations can be found here.
