Not the S1 — despite the map, Freising and the airport are on separate branches that meet at Neufahrn. Going by S-Bahn means changing there: 33 minutes and three zones for EUR 6.40, against 16 minutes and EUR 2.70 on this bus.

Seven or more should buy one Streifenkarte and stamp a strip each: EUR 18.70 against EUR 18.90 in singles. Six or fewer are cheaper on singles, and the one-zone group day ticket at EUR 15.40 is dearer than five singles.

The last bus is 01:01 and the first 03:51. Between them nothing goes to Freising except, on Friday and Saturday nights, the S8 into Munich and the S1 back out, which is the long way round on an M-5 fare.

The ÜFEX train from the station under the same building is five minutes quicker on the same ticket, but hourly; this bus is every 10 minutes.

The times here come from MVV's journey planner read for three dates in September 2026, because MVV prints no timetable for the 635; check it for the day you travel.

Not the s-bahn. Erding is the end of the S2 from Munich, which never comes near the airport: by rail you would ride into the city and out again on an M-5 ticket. This bus is direct.

Five people: one EUR 18.70 Streifenkarte, two strips each, or the EUR 19.70 two-zone Gruppen-Tageskarte. Four or fewer: singles at EUR 4.20 are cheaper.

It is a stopping bus through three villages, 30 or 34 minutes depending on the departure, every 20 minutes on weekdays and every 40 at weekends.

The last bus is 02:13 on weeknights and 01:53 at weekends, the first 03:53 every day; nothing runs in between.

The Kurzstrecke short-hop fare does not apply between the airport and Schwaig — printed on the line's own timetable — so the first stops cost the full EUR 4.20 too.
