I had a very bad experience with a bus driver. We were boarding the bus and as I was asking how to…read morescan tickets the bus door shut on me. The bus driver proceeded to yell at me for an extended period of time in German, as though this was my fault. I was extremely embarrassed and it ruined my stay in Garmiche. I hope he is treated better in the Nashville if he ever goes there....

You know, as far as Bahnhofs go (train stations), this one is quite nice. Small, but clean and has…read morea few stores, a bakery and convenience shop, a pharmacy, a mcdonalds, and a cafe. I'm wondering now, who reads reviews of train stations..?

Use this train station quite a lot at the moment. I find it useful to get to where I want to get…read moreto! The train comes every 10 minutes during commuter times, Monday to Friday or just every 20 minutes. There are only ticket machines here, the locals know which ticket to buy when purchasing a ticket. If you're a tourist, my advice is to search online before hand which ticket to buy when buying a ticket, or just ask for help from a person waiting on the platform, the people are usually helpful and if you don't speak German, most of the people are willing to help in English.

In general, it provides good transportation in Munich. But it is fairly expensive (about 10.4…read moreEuros (about $16) for a ride from the train station to the airport). And there are traps for the unwary! There are essentially no personnel to help, and ticket purchases are done in automated kiosks with unclear instructions. One pitfall is that the tickets are only good for 4 hours, unless you specifically buy an "advanced ticket" and then validate it when entering the platform. It is assumed you understand this nuance, but if you come from a place iike NYC or Wash DC (wheremetro/subway tickets are good forever and are considered used only when you enter the startion) you can find yourself out of luck and out considerable funds. We had the experience of buying 4 tickets not realizing this, and when we tried to use them the next day, discovered we had to buy NEW tickets and were basically out the 40 Euros (about $60 bucks!!) for the now useless tickets we bought the night before and had to purchase new tickets!. Attempts to rectify this at the main train station or airport "help" desks were unsuccessful. The people were rude, rigid, and incredibly unhelpful. I am still trying to get reimbursed by writing to the S DB, but am so far unsuccessful. Beware!
