Good to know
What is a hafilat card and how does recharge work?
A hafilat card is the contactless smart card used to pay fares on public transport in Abu Dhabi. You load a cash balance onto the card, then tap it when you board a bus — the fare for the trip is taken from the balance. It removes the need for paper tickets and loose change for everyday travel around the city.
When the balance runs low, the card needs a top-up. Instead of finding a machine, you can request a hafilat recharge online here: enter the card number, choose how much to add and send the request. A manager confirms it and the balance is loaded.
