keysersoze Posted September 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 21, 2009 This Saturday, the annual Oktoberfest (Beerfest) started in Munich. You can go there bei either subway or tram - I prefer, of course, tram. Route 19 is a major east-west tram line in Munich. For Oktoberfest weekends, some of Munich's oldest cars are out - type "P", built in 1967. After 42 years of reliable service, these cars still look bright and shiny: Note the two banners above the windshield. The blue one for MVG (Munich TA), the black/yellow one for the city of Munich. Shown here at the Eastern terminus of the line; the ride to Oktoberfest would take 30 minutes from here. This bus represents the oldest Munich bus fleet - Mercedes-Benz O405N, built in 1993/1994. These buses are soon to be gone. Note the P-type tram again in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zman Posted September 21, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 21, 2009 Darn. I'll be leaving for Europe on Wednesday morning for a week and I tried my best to schedule a trip to Munich for the Oktoberfest, but logistically (plane or train) it'll be very difficult. I'll have to settle for Cologne instead unless I can pull something off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted September 26, 2009 Thanks everybody for your comments! I got some more: P-type tram along Berg-am-Laim-Street in my neighborhood. Interior of a P-type car. These cars have never been rebuilt, so they basically look the same as in 1967. Note the girls dressed up for Oktoberfest to the left One of Munich's newest buses - a MAN Lion's City low-floor 3-door bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
