What is Hafilat?

Hafilat means “bus” in Arabic, and the Hafilat smart card is the official contactless payment system for buses across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Al Dhafra regions. It allows passengers to pay fares by simply tapping their card when boarding and alighting.
Hafilat cards come in various types — for regular passengers, students, seniors, and people of determination — each offering unique benefits, discounts, and validity options. With this system, commuters save time, avoid carrying cash, and enjoy secure, traceable travel transactions.
