The MVV coordinates transport and fares in an area consisting of the city of Munich and, as of December 2024, ten surrounding districts as well as the independent city of Rosenheim. It is jointly owned by the state of Bavaria, the cities of Munich and Rosenheim, as well as the ten member districts.[2]
At its inception in 1971, the MVV consisted of the city of Munich as well as its eight surrounding districts (with only Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen's northern half being integrated). This remained unchanged until December 10, 2023, when the districts of Rosenheim and Miesbach, the southern half of the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen as well as the independent city of Rosenheim were integrated.
As of December 2024, several further expansions of the MVV's jurisdiction are planned, with the districts of Landsberg am Lech and Weilheim-Schongau set to join the MVV on January 1, 2025.
The districts of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Mühldorf am Inn and Landshut, as well as the independent city of Landshut are also set to join the MVV, though no fixed date has been determined yet.
List of districts covered by the MVV as of December 2024:
- Landkreis Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen
- Landkreis Dachau
- Landkreis Ebersberg
- Landkreis Erding
- Landkreis Freising
- Landkreis Fürstenfeldbruck
- Landkreis Miesbach
