The southern station square looked chaotic in 2019: taxis, bicycles, people - there is no real space for anything.

Southern Forecourt, Bayerstrasse
The southern forecourt provides access to the railway hall from Bayerstraße. It is to be upgraded in terms of urban development and open space planning. As an arrival point between the main railway station and the southern station district, the square has been used up to now to change to a taxi or tram - or to park a bicycle. However, the unregulated parking of bicycles restricts other uses. For this reason, there will be facilities for bicycle parking in the immediate vicinity in the medium to long term. The forecourt will be part of the construction site for the new main railway station and will be used as an interim station. When the main station is completed, it will also be upgraded and redesigned.
