MVV expansion: Garmisch-Partenkirchen joined the transport association in 2026!

Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Deutschland - An important step for the region: The Munich Transport Association (MVV) significantly expands its area. From January 1, 2025, the Landsberg Am Lech and Weilheim-Schongau districts will join the MVV, followed by the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district on January 1, 2026. This expansion means that the population of the MVV composite area is growing by around 90,000 people from 22 municipalities and the total area of ​​around 1,365 km² is growing, as merkur.de reported.

uniform tariffs and cheaper driving prices

With the accession, a uniform tariff is also introduced, which brings numerous advantages for passengers. The previous entrepreneurial tariffs will be replaced by the proven MVV tariff, which should lead to significant price reductions. In the future, a simple ride from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Mittenwald will only cost 1.90 euros, instead of 6.60 euros. Bus trips are also cheaper: a single trip from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Ettal will only cost 3.90 euros instead of 6.20 euros. This was confirmed in t-online.de

Bayern's transport minister Christian Bernreiter welcomes the development and sees this an improvement for passengers and strengthening the tourism region. According to Garmisch-Partenkirchen's district administrator Anton Speer, this is the result of five years of intensive efforts to join the MVV. The new composite area promises to simplify the use of public transport and thereby create an incentive to leave the car.
