Transportation
Public Transportation - Free of Charge!
The MVV network allows travel within the Munich city area, using the S-Bahn
and U-Bahn (suburban and metro railway), trams, city buses and regional
buses. Your participant badge (issued at registration) also doubles as an MVV
Congress CombiTicket and can be used as a substitute for a ticket to travel
in all the Munich inner district “Innenraum”,
free of charge during IGARSS, i.e. from July 22 until July 27, 2012. So be sure to wear your badge at all times. Note that for journeys to the airport, you will require another ticket (available for 11.00 Euro) as you
will be leaving the inner district "Innenraum" of Munich. More information
about costs and the MVV network can be found at:
http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/home/index.html

Reaching the ICM by public transportation, in general:

Reaching the ICM by public transportation, from the airport:
- From the Munich Airport, we recommend buying an "Airport-Day-Ticket" (11 Euros) to travel on the day of your arrival.
- If you arrive before Sunday we recommend buying a "Single Trip Ticket" (2.50 Euros) on Sunday to go to the ICM. Later on, the name badge is your ticket.

- Change to underground U2 which takes you directly to the ICM
MVV Network Map
A network map for public transportation in Munich can be found here. Note that the Inner District area (free of charge for IGARSS 2012 participants if name badge can be forwarded) is marked in white color.
CAUTION:
- Presently, no shuttle buses will run between Munich Airport and ICM because no major fair will take place during that time at the New Munich Trade Fair Center.
- At the weekend of your arrival, the main suburban train line, i.e. all suburban trains between “Pasing” and “Ostbahnhof”) will be closed. Instead, rail replacement buses will operate. More information can be found here.
