MUC guy asking for S-Bahn ticket
When we emerged from the S-Bahn stop today someone asked me for my ticket (just outside the station.) I figure they know most people have bought a day pass as that's the best deal for 2 out to the airport. I never give anyone tickets like that, but I wonder if it was some sort of police sting, to get people to illegally turn over the ticket, or if it was just someone looking for a free ride.

Giving your ticket to somebody (for free) is actually legal. Selling it on isn't, and using it in the knowledge that is has been used by someone else before isn't either, but that's of no concern to you.

When I'm leaving Munich for home (these days almost always on BA from T1) I just stick my day ticket on one of the banks of ticket machines by the information desk. If someone knows what it is and wants to use it the rest of the day why should I care?

I do that as well. Not just in Germany. I see no difference in my using a day pass or 24-hr pass for the whole time period, or my using it for a partial period and another person the rest.

I remember one time taking the S-Bahn to the airport with a couple of friends who were leaving a day before myself and got checked on the way back into the city and the ticket inspector asked me where I had bought the partner-tageskarte gesamtnetz which I thought was odd. Said Rosenheimerplatz and that was the end of it.
