There isn't a "train fare" or a "bus fare", just a "public transport fare". Also extremely sensible. Ein Stadt, Ein Verkehrsverbund, Ein Fahrpreis! tom Funny you should say that, I have in front of me the current Munich public transport map and printed beneath the MVV logo it has, "1 Netz. 1 Fahrplan. 1 Tarif." As a comparison with UK pricing, an all zone one day ticket (called a Single Tageskarte - Gesamtnetz) is ?9.00, whilst the same ticket but valid for up to 5 people (with children between 6 & 14 counting as half a person and called a Partner Tageskarte - Gesamtnetz) is ?16.00. Which if my maths is correct makes the one person ticket about 6 quid and about ten and a half quid for the five person one, which, for a family is a bit of a bargin. Thats 9 and 16 euros, knew it was a mistake to use the symbols... -- Cheers, Steve. If The Good Lord had meant for us to be fiscally prudent, He would not have given us the platinum credit card...
