Tram new building in Munich: New route from Neufreimann to Hart!

Am Hart, Deutschland - A new era of local transport in Munich is emerging: On July 23, 2025, the city council's mobility committee approved the plans for a new tram route. This will lead from Neufreimann to the subway station at HART and is part of a comprehensive local transport plan that is intended to significantly improve the infrastructure in the north of Munich. The new tracks will have a total length of around 5.7 kilometers and is expected to go into operation from the end of 2029, since the construction will begin in autumn. The city council will take an important wounding decision on July 30, whereupon Stadtwerke Munich (SWM) can submit the application for planning approval to the government of Upper Bavaria, as the evening newspaper Munich reports.

Overall, the existing tram line 23 to Neufreimann is extended, while a new line 24 will offer a connection between the pine garden and on the hard. At the end points of the new lines, a switch to bus and subway is made possible, which should significantly increase mobility for the residents of the region. This is particularly important because, by 2030, new apartments are to be built in the Neufreimann residential area. Mayor Dominik Krause emphasizes how crucial this tram is for the infrastructure and the growth of the north of Munich, which is why the Munich Transport Society (MVG) also expects up to 12,000 passengers per day.

innovative solutions for mobility

approx. The entire project will cost 360 million euros, with funding of up to 90 percent of the eligible costs, i.e. around 220 million euros, the federal government and the Free State. The benefit-cost ratio of 2.61, which was determined by Intraplan Consult GmbH, exceeds the prerequisite of 1.0 for public funding, which makes the success of the project even more likely. This shows impressively how serious the city is with the development of local transport, even in difficult budget situations.

The municipal utility Munich not only progresses this tram project, but also other important construction projects, including the Tram-Westtangente and the planned subway extension of the U5 from Laimer Platz to Pasing. The city pursues a strategy to open up alternative sources of financing and avoid delays. The existing tram network will grow by about 15 kilometers to a total of 83 kilometers, which should modernize and relieve the entire traffic landscape of Munich.

A look into the future

Munich and Nuremberg are the only German cities in which tram and subway network are expanded at the same time. This makes Munich a pioneer in terms of innovative traffic planning that aims not only to increase living comfort, but also to increase quality of life. The next few years of construction could therefore be an exciting time for the Munich citizens in which a lot will change. The city is preparing to further optimize and make the mobility of its citizens.
