Transit Tangents

Transit Tour - Munich, Germany


Listen Later

We ride around Munich from the city center to the suburban palaces. We hit it all, trams, buses, U-Bahn and S-Bahn. Home of BMW, our trip reveals a car capital where transit is still king. 

• Major renovations and expansion of the Munich Hauptbahnhof and what it changes
• tram frequency, speed differences versus Vienna, and signage wins
• walkability around Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt
• cross-town bus to BMW and Olympic Park to test outer links
• U-Bahn service levels, proof-of-payment, and crowd management
• S-Bahn scale today and why a new tunnel under construction matters
• Munich’s centralized rail versus Vienna’s stronger orbitals
