Ajman just raised the bar for public transport! While other emirates are still catching up, Ajman Transport Authority has become the first in the UAE to roll out open and contactless payment technology across its public bus network. Say goodbye to fumbling for cash or topping up transport cards, now, you can simply tap and go!
Pay With A Tap On Bus, No More Wallet Drama
The newly launched system allows passengers to pay using bank cards, digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, and even smartwatches. Whether you’re a tech-savvy commuter or just someone who always forgets their wallet, this upgrade ensures smoother, stress-free travel. The best part? Every public bus in Ajman is already equipped with smart payment devices, making it easier than ever to hop on and off.
Currently, the contactless payment system is fully functional on Ajman’s internal bus routes. But that’s just the beginning! Transport authorities plan to expand the service to external routes soon, so even intercity travellers will get to enjoy the convenience.
Smarter Travel with the Upgraded ‘Masaar Travel’ App
Ajman didn’t stop at just modernising bus payments. They also upgraded the ‘Masaar Travel’ app, turning it into a one-stop solution for all things public transport. The enhanced app now lets users:
1. Plan journeys effortlessly
2. Track buses in real-time (so no more guessing!)
3. Link bank cards for seamless payments
4. View travel history and manage transactions
This means fewer surprises and more control over your commute—because let’s face it, no one enjoys waiting at a bus stop with no clue when the next ride will show up.
A Big Step Towards Digital Transformation
Ajman’s latest transport innovations aren’t just about convenience, they’re part of a larger push for digital transformation. By integrating smart technology into everyday life, the emirate is creating a modern, efficient, and tech-forward public transport system.
