Ticket tap system to launch on public transport in Bavaria from 2027
Public transport associations in Bavaria will roll out a tap-in/tap-out ticket system from the beginning of 2027. Here’s how the new system will work.
Public transport associations in Bavaria will introduce a tap-in/tap-out ticket system from the start of 2027, as announced by the Ministry of Transport. Passengers will check in and out using an app, which will automatically calculate the ticket cost based on their departure point and final destination. The Munich Transport Association (Münchener Verkehrsverbund or MVV) has already launched the tap-in/tap-out system, called MVVswipe, in Munich.
The ministry has also abandoned plans for a state-wide, fixed-price "Bavaria ticket" and will focus on the Deutschlandticket, a monthly pass allowing unlimited public transport use across Germany for 63 euros. However, Markus Büchler, a Greens party member and mobility spokesperson in the Bavarian state parliament, argues that this approach is insufficient.
He believes that attractive offers must be created, particularly for occasional bus and train travelers, rather than relying solely on the Deutschlandticket.
