Hi,
I want to ride from Munich to Salzburg and wanted to make sure that Bayern-ticket is still applied to Salzburg trains.
can I use it for all train companies commute to Salzburg.
where can I by those tickets in the Munich airport, and should I by them in advance?
thank you so much
The Bayern Ticket works not just for Munich > Salzburg but for MUC Airport > Salzburg and all other journeys you might like to take within Bavaria. You may ride only the REGIONAL trains (like BRB trains) or other regional/local means of transport (like buses or trams) so do NOT use the long-distance/high-speed trains (no RJ, RJX, ICE, EC, or IC trains.) Also, you must travel only from 9 am on if it's a weekday. Buy it from a machine at the airport station or any other station. If pre-purchased, it is non-refundable.
Yes, still valid. See official DB ticket information and the faq there.
No need to buy in advance.
A Deutsche Bahn office (DB Reisezentrum) you will find at Terminal 1 level 03 - see station map of MUC or you use the app.
Just note that while the Bayern ticket can be used to get to Salzburg, you cannot use it in Salzburg for public transport, like you can in Germany.
Thanks all for the help!.
I just want to make sure, a bit confused:
I was looking for trains to Salzburg from OMIO website, and I see too companies in the the designated date:
1. RJX 65 is not REGIONAL, so for RJX I can't use the Bayern-ticket?
2. BRB 79019 is REGIONAL, and for BRB I can use the Bayern-ticket?
if so it is dramatically decreases my pool of options, unfortunately ):
Depending on your particular travel needs, don't forget to check to see if a "D" ticket might actually be a better deal for you.
OMIO is a 3rd party reseller. If you are going to buy a Bayern ticket, then use the Deutche Bahn website.
The trains mentioned above are the types if trains, and train services available. They are not necessarily different train companies. If you are using a Bayern ticket, go to the website, select your route, and then select the 'Local transport only" option. The site will then show a list of the regional trains you can use.
If you buy the Bayern Ticket in advance and your plans change, there are no refunds. So buy it when you are ready to travel, either with the app or from a kiosk at the station. .
That's correct.
As CJean just explained, at the DB site you can exclude the RJX etc. long-distance trains from your search results by selecting "local transport only" - and in this manner find regional trains only, which can all be used with a Bayern Ticket.
again, I want to thank you for the quick replies and help - I dont take it for granted.
second, I have looked in the DB website and couldn't find where to filter "Local transport only".
so I will just ask:
is the WB, together with the BRB, consider to be local? (they both depicted with the same grayish color)
what is the "D" ticket "carol now" refers to - my travel needs are very simple - from Munich airport -> Salzburg -> Bad Hofgastein
and going back the next week
Enter your city names and then look just below for "mode of transport" - click on and choose local transport only.
I don't believe WestBahn (WB, private railway) participates in the Bayern Ticket offer. Choose a different train.
A “D” ticket is the Deutschland Ticket. This ticket is good for a calendar month and covers all local and regional transport within Germany, including traveling to Salzburg. Effective Jan 1st it is 58 euros.
There are many posts about the D ticket if you use the search feature. Very flexible and very convenient.
is the WB, together with the BRB, consider to be local?
No, the Westbahn is an Austrian carrier that only runs a few of its trains from Vienna to Salzburg on to Munich; it is not integrated into the German fare system. But they sometimes have cheap offers, so for a single traveler on certain days and trains a WB ticket might be cheaper than a Bayernticket and the travel time is even shorter. As far as the Bayernticket is concerned, you only have one option on the Munich-Salzburg line, namely the hourly BRB trains.
