來過歐洲自助旅行的人們,一定都知道悠遊卡(或一卡通)的好,一張卡打天下!
不像德國、義大利、西班牙等各國,每個城市都有自己的交通系統,以致於我們每到一個城市就得重買交通票!

Everyone who has ever been to Europe must know that our Easy Card (or another southern version iPass) in Taiwan is much more efficient. A card, which brings you everywhere you want!

來到慕尼黑,自然不能不先了解MVG。
想在慕尼黑區內來去自如,不妨看看下面簡單的介紹吧!

If you're planning to visit Munich, you must get to know MVG first.
Why not take a few minutes to read the following brief introduction?

自2001年起,慕尼黑的地下鐵、路面電車以及公車路線皆由MVG全面管理。
(郊區電車隸屬於德鐵之下,但MVG的交通票也能夠搭乘慕尼黑轄區內之郊區電車。)
其包含了八條地鐵、十五條路面電車路線以及七十九條公車路線,2015年底開始也有提供站外租用腳踏車的服務(類似台北的Ubike)。

Since 2001, U-Bahn, Tram and Buses are all run by MVG.
(Although S-Bahn belongs to Deutsche Bahn, the ticket of MVG can still be used.)
It includes 8 underground lines, 15 tram lines and 79 bus lines. Since 2015 MVG has also provided bicycles for rent (similar as Ubike in Taipei).

歐洲部分城市的交通票價計算方式是以複雜出名的,慕尼黑的也不例外。
然而以短暫停留的觀光客來看,大致上會使用到的不外乎下列幾種:

Some ticket purchasing systems are quite infamous for their complicatedness, unfortunately Munich isn't an exception.
However, for tourists who stay only for a short term, there're three kinds of tickets, which are more oft used:

1. 近站票/短票(1,40 Euro):
這種票只能乘坐兩站地鐵或是四站公車站,購買前可得先行查詢清楚!

1. Short Trip (1,40 Euro):
You can only use this ticket for 2 underground stations and 4 bus-stops. Don't forget to check it clearly before you use it!

2. 單程票:
使用此種票券,使用者必須先知道自己位於哪一區(Zone),還有自己打算搭車去哪一區。
例如:
A. 從U3的Olympiazentrum到市中心的Marienplatz,由於兩站都在一區內,所以只需要最簡單的單程票(2,7o Euro)
B. 從U3的Olympiazentrum到達郝集中營所在地 - Dachau,則必須購買單程兩區票(5,40 Euro)
以此類推,第一次搭乘飛機抵達慕尼黑的台灣旅客,若是想從機場前往市中心,就必須支付10,80 Euro 購買單程四區票。

2. Single journey:
Before using this kind of ticket, you must first know which zone you're currently in, and which zone you are planning to go.
For example:
A. From Olympiazentrum on U3 to Marienplatz, because they're both located in the first zone, you just need a simple single journey ticket, which costs 2,70 Euro.
B. From Olympiazentrum on U3 to Dachau, you need to buy a 2 zones - ticket, which costs 5,40 Euro.
Therefore, visitors who come with plane and land on MUC need to pay 10,80 Euro for a 4 zones - ticket to reach the city center.

3. 一天/三天票:
這種票券適用於喜愛到處跑的旅客們。若是一天搭超過三趟以上(不包含上面提到的短票),就算是划算了。天票還另有團體版本,二到五人的票價相同,也就是說越多人成行,分除下來就越划算!(單人一區一天票/團體一區一天票:6,40/12,20 Euro 單人一區三天票/團體一區三天票:16,00/28,20 Euro)另外值得注意的是,三天票只售一區票,而不像一天票的票種還能夠選區喔!

3. One day/Three days ticket:
This kind of ticket suits tourists the best, who enjoy heading around the whole areas. If you travel more than three times a day, it's your best option. There's also a group version, the price for 2 - 5 people is the same, which means, if you have more friends traveling with you, it will be even cheaper! (A single one zone one day ticket/A group one zone one day ticket: 6,40/12,20 Euro. A single one zone 3 days ticket/A group one zone 3 days ticket: 16,00/28,20 Euro) Another thing to mention about: there's no multiple zones choice for 3 days ticket!

其餘票種如學生學期票、週/月票(此票另需計算圈數(Ring))、孩童票等等,由於背包客使用性較低,在此就不再贅述。另外在較大型的地鐵站或是火車站,也設有顧客服務中心,除了有專人幫忙處理購票事宜,也提供路線圖免費索取。想要瞭解更多詳情的人,可以上MVG官網查詢:http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/homepage/index.html

Other sorts of tickets, such as Semesterticket, weekly/monthly ticket (which need to calculate "rings"), kids ticket etc., because they are less used by backpackers, so I shall not do more dissertation for them. On the other hand, there're customer services in some bigger underground stations and train stations, except of helping you purchase your tickets, they also offer free maps of transportation.
