Ajman Transport Authority has become the first entity in the UAE to implement open and contactless payment technology across its public bus network.
The new system enables passengers to pay for their journeys using bank cards, digital wallets including Apple Pay and Google Pay, as well as wearable devices such as smartwatches.
Smart payment devices have been installed throughout the entire public bus fleet.
The service is currently operational on internal routes, with plans to extend the functionality to external routes soon, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) said in a statement on Wednesday.
