The lines (U1 to U8) serve only the central areas of the city. Services run every five minutes in the rush hour and then every ten minutes during the rest of the day.
The Suburban train service, or S-Bahn, is operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB). The services of the S-Bahn run to the more outlying areas of the city including Flughafen airport (S1 and S8). The services S1, S2 and S4 to S8 run through a central tunnel in the middle of Munich, running from Ostbahnhof to Hauptbahnhof. The tunnel area is a single stretch of track running through the city, which can form a bottle-neck at certain peak travel times during the day. At either end of the tunnel services branch off to cover the S-Bahn network.
The city of Munich also has a well developed bus and tram network run by MVG. The Munich Transport and Tariff Association (MVV) is a transport association that has centralised the ticket and pricing system in Munich. The ticket system is integrated with only one type of ticket required for all of the services in the city, although the price paid is based on a zoning system.
