Restrooms were clean, waitresses offered refreshments & there was space for luggage. The ride between cities was scenic passing farms, wineries & charming villages.

We bought a day pass from the airport which covered our trip from the airport to our hotel and then used the pass to get to the Munich Olympic Park and the BMW Campus and Museum. We also took this station to go to Dachau as well. I was surprised that they very rarely checked for tickets during our stay in Munich. According to our tour guide, they are on an "honor" system. There are no turnstiles or entrance gates to scan your tickets. Ticket inspectors randomly inspect for tickets. If you don't have one you may get a €60 or more fine! A very useful station in Munich, but make sure that you have a ticket. We always did!

Definitely a lot less drunkenness going on but there was still a very visible security presence and that's always a comfort. Goetheplatz services the U3 between Poccistraße (toward Fürstenried West) and Sendlinger Tor (toward Moosach) and the U6 lines between Poccistraße (toward Klinikum Großhadern) and Sendlinger Tor (toward Garching-Forschungszentrum). At the surface level, there were stairs. I did not happen to notice escalators or elevators but I wasn't looking hard. There is a mezzanine platform with ticketing kiosks and ticket validation machines and then the lower platform level, which is an island platform between the two tracks. There was some really lovely and calming classical music playing while we waited for the train. [Review 12044 overall, 1827 of 2019.]

During Oktoberfest it did get very crowded at certain times but it was less so than I would have expected while the level of security seemed to increase substantially during Wiesn. I was really appreciative of the Google Maps feature that kept the schedules updated as the departures were very fast within just a few minutes of each other so it really helped to make sure you were getting on the correct line going in the direction you needed to go.
