Semester Ticket Munich

On the Move in Munich: Students of TUM and other Munich universities get the semester ticket. The ticket is valid the underground and suburban trains, as well as all trams, buses and some regional trains in the entire Munich public transportation network (MVV). All students must pay the fee for the basic ticket as part of their semester fees. You may also purchase the IsarCard Semester to have 24 hour access to the MVV network.

Introduction of the Deutschlandticket (“Germany Ticket”) on May 1, 2023

The Deutschlandticket or 49-euro ticket was introduced on May 1, 2023.
The ticket entitles the holder to use regional public transport (including bus, subway, S-Bahn, regional trains) throughout Germany.
In the summer semester 2023, students can either travel with the student ID during the validity periods of the solidarity contribution (6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and on weekends) or change to the Deutschlandticket.
Unfortunately, it is not possible for employees of the State of Bavaria to purchase the Deutschlandticket as a discounted job ticket.
For more information, please see the FAQ on the “Deutschlandticket”.

Basic ticket: evenings and weekends

All students are obliged to pay a basic semester fee. This fee is collected together with the basic student union fee upon enrollment. The basic semester ticket authorizes students to use all forms of transportation within the entire MVV network on weekdays between the hours of 6 pm and 6 am, as well as on weekends and holidays. Find more information on the MVV website.

Supplementary Ticket: Travel any time

In order to be able to use the whole MVV network also during the day and during the week, students need the optional “Isarcard Semester”. It costs 209.30 euros in the winter semester 2022/23 (224.70 euros from the summer semester 2023) and authorizes students bearing a student ID card and official photo ID to use all forms of transportation within the entire MVV network without restrictions.
