Munich U-Bahn

The Munich U-Bahn (U-Bahn München) is an electric rapid transit network in Munich, Germany. The system opened on 19 October 1971, and is operated by the municipally owned Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG). It is part of the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund (MVV; Munich Transport and Tariff Association) and is interconnected with the Munich S-Bahn.

Together with the S-Bahn, the U-Bahn forms a major component of Munich's local public transport. The network consists of eight lines, serving 96 stations (100 when interchange stations with separate levels are counted twice) and extending over 95 kilometres (59 mi) of track.

In 2024, the system carried 452 million passengers.

The Munich U-Bahn operates eight lines.

The network covers 95 km (59 mi) of track and has 100 stations. In 2024, it carried 452 million passengers. Trains run at up to 80 km/h (50 mph), the fastest speed of any German U-Bahn.

Service stops overnight (01:00–04:00 on weekdays, 02:00–04:00 on weekends), except on occasions such as New Year's Eve.

Line U6 is the only line that leaves Munich, running north to Garching. All others stay underground within the city. U5 comes above ground at Neuperlach Süd. U6 is above ground between Studentenstadt and Garching, with short tunnels at Garching and Garching-Forschungszentrum.

Three line pairs share tracks in the city centre, with coordinated timetables:
