Day tickets

I%26#39;ll be spending 36 hours in Munich very soon, and I%26#39;ve been reading about the different day-tickets for public transport. However, I%26#39;m a bit confused about which type I should buy on every occasion. I%26#39;m planning to do as follows:

Day 1, from 10 AM:

- S-8 from the Airport to Rosenheimer Platz

- S-2 from Rosenheimer Platz to Petershausen

- Bus from Petershausen to Dachau Concentration Camp

- Bus back to Petershausen

- S-2 from Petershausen to Marienplatz

Day 2, until 18:30

- S-8 from Rosenheimer Platz to Marienplatz

- U-3 from Marienplatz to Olympia-Zentrum

- U-3 from Olympia-Zentrum to Marienplatz

- S-8 from Rosenheimer Platz to the Airport

My questions are:

* Will just one ticket be enough for all the trains and buses of Day 1? If so, which one? Same one for Day 2?

* Have the prices risen for 2007? I assume that all the information on the net is still based on last year%26#39;s prices.

* When does S-8 turn into S-2? According to the map, every S-Bahn line is green, but I wonder how to get from one line to another.

Thanks a lot in advance!

To/from the airport you need a day ticket covering the whole MVV entwork (the airport is some 40 km outside of Munich).

Such a day ticket is EUR 9,60. The mini group version (2-5 persons) of this ticket is EUR 17,00.

%26gt; Will just one ticket be enough for all the trains and buses of Day 1?

yes

%26gt; If so, which one?

See above.

%26gt; Same one for Day 2?

yes

%26gt; Have the prices risen for 2007?

yes

%26gt; I assume that all the information on the net is still based on last year%26#39;s prices.

The information on the MVV homepage (see above) is of course up to date.

%26gt; When does S-8 turn into S-2? According to the map, every S-Bahn line is green, but I wonder how to get from one line to another.

Here a map where also the S-Bahn lines have different colours:

Vielen Dank, abalada, that was a very useful reply. I downloaded the map from amadeus.net, but this one is perfect. Everything%26#39;s clear now!
