Ticket control

Everything passengers need to know about ticket controls, increased service charges and passenger rights

Für die Deutsche Version dieser Webseite, folgen Sie dem Link:

To ride the public transportation, you need a valid ticket, which must always be shown during a ticket inspection. Please make sure that your ticket is validated before entering the trains.

If you get caught riding without a valid ticket, you must pay a minimum increased fare charge of 60 Euros within 30 days.

Please be aware of fake ticket inspectors!

Each inspector must be able to identify himself as a legitimate employee of the S-Bahn München. If you have a feeling the person checking your tickets could be a fraud, you have the right to ask for a proof of identification.

Increased fare charge

If you get caught without a valid ticket at the time of the ticket control, the inspectors will provide you with a confirmation receipt containing all the essential information, including a transaction number to pay the increased fare charge.

All of the information concerning the increased fare charge is gathered on the website www.db-fn.de.

Legal issues

The increased fare charge is not a penalty or a fine, but a civil claim. Claims of whether someone used the public transportation without a valid ticket, deliberately or by mistake, will not be determined when issued.

You are, therefore under the conditions of transportation obliged to pay an increased fare according to the conditions.

Please understand that the control staff may and cannot differentiate whether a passenger has intentionally or erroneously traveled without a validated ticket.
