Price increase

Posted by (Lakewood, Colorado) on

I just was looking up fares from Munich to Salzburg and saw that the 2nd class Savings Fare (Bayern-Ticket) for two people for regional trains is now 31€ (in 2016, it was 28€). The price for the first person went up 2€ to 25€; the price for persons 2 through 5 is now 6€ each.

The Guten-Tag-Ticket, which cover Meridian trains between Munich and Salzburg and the Bayerische Oberlandbahn south of Munich (Bad Tölz, Tegernsee, and Schliersee) - looks like the first person is still 21€ but 2 thru 5 are now 6€ each (like the Bayern-Ticket).

So far no change in the Baden-Württemberg-Ticket (23€ + 5€).

Rheinland-Pfalz-Ticket is now 24€ + 5€.

Hessen-Ticket, 34€ for up to 5 people.

Looks like the Schönes-Wochenende and Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket have stayed the same.

There might be others; I haven't checked them all yet.

I noticed these changes for the first time today. Others might change before the first of the year.

Yes, we just paid 31 € for a Bayern Ticket for 2 yesterday.

It was 23,90 € fare for an S-bahn airport ticket, I was expecting a little less and glad we saved some extra change!

Was this a different day than the Bayern-Ticket? Because a Bayern-Ticket would have included your trip to the airport.

23,90€ is the price of a Gruppen Tageskarte for the entire Munich (MVV) zone, not just one trip to the airport. It's valid for unlimited trips all day in the entire MVV zone for up to 5 people.

Unfortunately, unlike Tageskarten (day passes), Einzelfahrkarten (single trip tickets) do not have a reduced price for Mitfahrer (co-travelers). You have to buy two individual tickets for two people. A one-way trip to the airport for two is 22,40€ (OK, not much less, but still less). It's not just for the S-Bahn but would cover any U-Bahn, trams, or buses to get from the inner zone to an S-Bahn station. It's valid for 4 hours as long as you are moving consistently towards your destination (i.e., no backtracking or detours).

@Lee Right, the Bayern Ticket was no longer valid for our airport trip this morning.
