The history of the present-day MVG began in 1876 with the horse- drawn tram – here in the picture on Ludwigstraße.
As early as the 1920s and 30s Munich’s streets were very busy:Theatinerstraße in bygone days.
And in the 1950s new bus models soon dominated the scene on Munich’s streets.
The M-type tram – a prototype of the M 1.62 is pictured here – was built for the first time in 1950.
In the 1880s steam-powered trams were already driven by more than 1 hp.
Just 12 years later the first electrified trams were running through Munich.
1971: Just in time for the XX Olympic Summer Games Munich opened its underground system.
Walk on, walk off: In the 1990s low-floor buses becameincreasingly common.
On 27 October 2007 the MVG Museum in Ständlerstrasse opened its doors for the first time.
The trailer bus consists of a 12 m bus and 11 m trailer.
The MVG IsarTiger offers personalised mobility without a fixed timetable. Booked via app, the minivan takes you directly to your destination.
The new C2-type articulated under-ground train is about 115 m long (with coupling) and carries up to 940 passengers.
