3 bits of news

Map your city's top locations 

Ever wondered where the hipsters hang out in Munich? Or maybe where the city’s rich and famous prefer to spend their leisure time?  

Hoodmaps is the latest crowdsourced mapping tool giving us the lowdown on urban stereotypes across more than 2000 cities worldwide. This interactive map will help you find neighborhoods colored and tagged based on where you're likely to find students, tourists, hipsters, and more.

It's your ultimate guide to the city’s diverse urban landscape, beyond the usual tourist traps.

New York City currently has 2700 contributors, so Munich Post folks, we number more than 8500: Let's make Munich shine on Hoodmaps. 

Let's share those secret spots, the best karaoke bars, the museums, and where the budding entrepreneurs hangout. 

E-Scooters scoot over

Munich's public transit system is putting its foot down on electric scooters. As of April 2 (no fooling), you are no longer able to bring e-scooters onto subway trains, streetcars, and buses, nor within the subway stations. 

The ban follows recent incidents in other European cities where electric scooters caught fire on public transport. To avoid such hazards, Munich is aligning with the Association of German Transport Companies’ (VDV) recommendation, prioritizing passenger safety over convenience. 

For long-distance travelers, there’s a silver lining. You can still bring your folded e-scooter on long-distance trains as hand luggage, free of charge. Just make sure it’s safely stowed away and not being charged or used as a power bank.

Subways to run non-stop on weekends 

From December 2024, waving down a taxi or navigating the night bus maze after a great night out could become tales of the past. The city's beloved U-Bahn is extending its wings to embrace the night, offering non-stop service on weekends as well as on the eves of public holidays. 

It's all about those central rendezvous points – Hauptbahnhof, Sendlinger Tor, and Odeonsplatz – making sure you've got a ride, no matter which corner of Munich's nightlife you're exploring. Even points farther afield, like Garching might get a slice of the midnight action as discussions are still in the works.

With the U-Bahn stretching its legs, night buses will recalibrate and focus on complementing rather than duplicating the new subway services.
