Fare & Hafilat Card Information

Payment for the 102 bus is simple, but you must have a Hafilat Card.

How to Pay for Your Trip

You must tap your Hafilat Card on the electronic reader when you board the bus (tap-in) and tap the same card again when you exit the bus (tap-out).

This tap-in/tap-out system is essential. It ensures the system charges you only for the distance you traveled, not the entire route.

Estimated Fare Cost

The fare for Abu Dhabi public buses is calculated with a base boarding fee plus a charge per kilometer.

• Boarding Fee: AED 2.00
• Distance Charge: AED 0.05 (5 fils) per kilometer

For the 102 bus route, a complete journey from Mussafah Bus Station to Sultan Bin Zayed Station will cost approximately AED 4.00. Shorter trips will cost less.

Pro Tip: Always remember to tap-out when you exit. If you forget, the Hafilat system may charge you the maximum fare for the entire route (as it doesn’t know where you got off), which could be significantly more expensive.

Where to Get a Hafilat Card

You can buy a new Hafilat Card or top-up your existing card at:

• Ticket vending machines at all major bus stations (including Mussafah).
• Customer service counters at major stations.
• Most major shopping malls.
• Select convenience stores (like Lulu Hypermarket) across the city.
