It loses at every party size from one to eight. Even eight people in one large taxi pay EUR 106.00 against EUR 65.20 for two group tickets on the train.

The fixed fare applies to the Hauptbahnhof zone. The extent of that zone is not stated here, so for an address elsewhere in Munich agree the basis of the fare before setting off.

It is the only option here that certainly runs all night, which is its real argument rather than the price.
