From 2003 to 2006, the platforms of the U-Bahn were widened to expand passenger capacity and were lifted by 4 cm to secure same-level boarding.

The increase in traffic and the new Allianz Arena also required a larger capacity of this already overcrowded pivotal transfer station.

New pedestrian tunnels were built, which provide more room for passengers transferring from and to the S-Bahn.

At the south end, they meet the transverse tunnel, where the escalators to the S-Bahn platforms are located.

Parts the music video for Four Out of Five by the Arctic Monkeys features the station as Alex Turner walks down a tunnel called the U-Bahn.
