Autonomous Rapid Transit
In October 2023, Txai & The Government of Abu Dhabi had collaborated to operate a tram-like electric articulated bus in Yas, Saadiyat & Reem Islands. Although this is done with the Abu Dhabi Government, Txai operates the Autonomous Rapid Transit as it is under "The Smart Mobility Project" aimed to improve transport within the emirate. [7]
The current fare system in Abu Dhabi uses a contactless card for the fare collection system called Hafilat Card that launched on May 15, 2015.[9][10][11] All buses use the Hafilat Card and charge a flat fare of AED 2 within Abu Dhabi City limits while trips to suburbs cost an additional 5 fils per kilometre.
Temporary use Hafilat Cards are Hafilat cards which are only valid for a maximum of 14 days (2 weeks). The cards can be recharged up to AED 150 and they can be used to travel on Local Bus Services and Regional Bus Services.
If the user wishes to only travel on Local Bus Services. The user may purchase a weekly pass which costs AED 30 per week with no additional charges.
The cards can be obtained at Ticket Office Machines (TOMs) in the emirate.
