FAQs

Can I use a contactless card to pay on the S-Bahn?

No — RMV does not accept contactless card tap-on. Purchase a ticket from vending machines or the RMV app before boarding.

Does the S-Bahn run 24 hours?

Yes, on weekends. On weekdays, reduced night services run roughly every 30–60 minutes between midnight and 4 am.

Is there a direct express train to the city?

The S8 and S9 are the fastest regular options at ~11 min to Hbf. Long-distance ICE trains also stop at the airport but cost significantly more.
