Can I save an MVV single ticket or Tageskarte to Apple Wallet?

MVG Wallet export is available for selected HandyTicket subscriptions: Deutschlandticket variants, 365-Euro-Ticket MVV, and MVV Abo. Single tickets, day tickets, stripe tickets, and other one-off tickets remain app-only unless separately supported.

What is the difference between MVV and MVG?

MVV is the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund, the fare association that sets tariffs and covers the Munich region. MVG is the Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft, the operator that runs U-Bahn, bus, and tram in the city. Both publish their own apps.

Does MVGO auto-update the Deutschlandticket in Wallet?

No. MVG states that the Deutschlandticket must be downloaded again in MVGO every month and added to Wallet manually. There is no automatic refresh inside the Wallet app.

How many tariff zones does the MVV have?

The MVV area is divided into Zone M plus zones 1 to 12. Zone M covers the city of Munich, and zones 1 through 12 cover the surrounding districts. Fares are calculated based on the number of zones crossed.

Do inspectors in Munich accept a Wallet pass created from a screenshot?

A screenshot-based pass can carry the same visible barcode, but it is not the official MVGO ticket surface. Keep MVGO or the MVV app installed and ready in case an inspector asks for the official app view.

MVV & MVG Ticket in Apple Wallet: München 2026 Guide

Almost every ride in Munich runs on an MVV or MVG fare. Getting that ticket onto the iPhone and into Apple Wallet sounds obvious, but it is not. MVG Wallet export is available for selected HandyTicket subscriptions, not for every MVV ticket.

Here is how things stand in Munich in 2026, which tickets actually land in Wallet, and where NeatPass can step in for an Einzelfahrt, a Tageskarte, or similar.

MVV vs. MVG: what is what?

The MVV is the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund. It sets the fares and defines the service area for Munich and the surrounding districts. On January 1, 2026, the districts of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Mühldorf a. Inn, and Landshut plus the city of Landshut joined the MVV.

The MVG is the Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft, the operator. MVG runs the U-Bahn, buses, and trams inside Munich. Both publish their own apps: the MVV-App and MVGO, formerly known as MVG Fahrinfo München.

The Apple Wallet situation in Munich 2026

There is no blanket Wallet support for MVV tickets. MVG lists selected HandyTicket subscriptions as Wallet-capable: Deutschlandticket variants, 365-Euro-Ticket MVV, and MVV Abo. Single and day tickets still live inside the app.

Plan for monthly re-adds

The Deutschlandticket barcode rotates every month. MVG confirms that no automatic update happens inside the Wallet app. The ticket has to be downloaded again in MVGO and re-added to Wallet each month, otherwise the iPhone will show an invalid code on the 1st.

Deutschlandticket in Apple Wallet via MVGO

The Deutschlandticket costs 63 euros per month and is valid nationwide on regional transit. With MVG, the ticket is available digitally inside MVGO or as an electronic ticket on a chip card. Only the digital MVGO version can be saved to Apple Wallet.

MVG tucks the export away inside the ticket view to keep people using the app. Anyone willing to accept the monthly extra step gets a Wallet pass that is ready on the lock screen.

MVV tariff zones and what is new

The MVV area is split into Zone M plus zones 1 through 12. Zone M covers the city of Munich itself, and zones 1 to 12 cover the surrounding districts. Fares are calculated from the number of zones crossed.

On January 1, 2026, the MVV also introduced a new discount model for the MVV-Abo: instead of the old "pay 10 months, ride 12" principle, there is now a fixed monthly discount. That change does not affect Wallet support for IsarCard subscriptions, which still live on chip card or inside the app.

Which MVV tickets live in MVGO?

MVGO bundles most Munich ticket types. Tickets generally live inside the app; Wallet export is limited to selected HandyTicket subscriptions rather than one-off tickets.

Einzelfahrt: can be bought without registration and is stamped directly in MVGO
Tageskarte: single or group, time-limited inside the app
Streifenkarte: digital 10-strip block, strips are stamped individually in MVGO
IsarCard and MVV-Abo: require an M-Login in the app, or ship as an electronic ticket on a chip card

Riding U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram, and bus in the network shares the same zone tariff across all modes. The Wallet story is not shaped by the vehicle, it is shaped by the ticket type.

What NeatPass can do for MVV tickets

NeatPass creates Apple Wallet passes from supported barcode formats. For MVV tickets that means the visible barcode inside a ticket can become a Wallet pass, as long as the barcode stays the same for the full usage window.

When the NeatPass detour pays off

Static Einzelfahrt barcodes: a ticket that shows a fixed QR or Aztec code for the whole ride can be screenshotted and converted into a Wallet pass
Offline access: Wallet passes work offline, even when MVGO or the MVV-App hang
Lock-screen access: the pass lives in Wallet and opens without waiting for the app to start

Where NeatPass will not help

Rotating Deutschlandticket barcodes: the VDV-KA code changes every month, so a static Wallet pass would be invalid on the 1st
Dynamic or app-bound codes: when the code is regenerated inside the app or tied to in-app validation, MVGO is the only path

Sanity-check the barcode first

Open the desired ticket in MVGO, screenshot the barcode, reopen the ticket a few minutes later, and compare. If the code is identical, a Wallet pass can be a convenience copy, but it is not the official MVGO ticket. Keep the official app ready for inspection.

Munich tickets on the lock screen

Munich runs a dense MVV network, but Apple Wallet only features in it for the Deutschlandticket so far. Anyone who relies on Einzelfahrten or Tageskarten stays inside MVGO or the MVV-App.

For individual tickets with a fixed barcode, the NeatPass detour is a way to drop the pass straight into Wallet. And as soon as MVG opens a native Wallet export for more ticket types, those land next to the Deutschlandticket automatically.

Using the Deutschlandticket outside of Munich too? The Deutschlandticket Apple Wallet provider overview shows what HVV, BVG, and others do. For long-distance rides with Deutsche Bahn there is a separate guide. And across borders, train tickets in Europe in Apple Wallet covers the rest.
