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.[6][7][8] 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 (Example: Mussafah to Abu Dhabi city cost AED 4). Hafilat Cards are available for daily, weekly, and monthly users, with special fares levied for senior citizens and students.
