The Nol card, a prepaid smart card, is widely used to pay for public transport across Dubai, including the Metro, buses, trams, and waterbuses. It can also be used for taxi fares, parking, entrance to Dubai public parks, the Etihad Museum, and payments at over 2,000 shops, restaurants, and stores across the city.
