It's depending on your plans and where you want to go. Another option could be a Deutsche Bahn railway "Bayernticket" which is in the standard version good for up to 5 people with public transport included in the major cities for a day. It costs around 25 €.
You might use the search option here, as it has already been mentiones in other threads.
