Means of Transportation in Dubai

Dubai Transportation is using a NOL card, its a prepaid card that you can use as a ticket to use public transportation in Dubai and soon you can use the prepaid card to shop in most groceries in Dubai. This Dubai NOL prepaid card is reloadable of up to 500AED and is valid for 5 years. This card can be buy at any Dubai Metro stations for only 20 AED with 14 aed value that you can use to travel. I suggest for the tourist who will stay in Dubai for a couple of days to have this Prepaid card instead of one time travel ticket. You can see the details if you want to know more about the prepaid card and more of the means of transportation in Dubai click here to go to Dubai transport.

As we all know Dubai is the fastest ever growing city in the world today. When it comes to infrstructure, technology and transportation Dubai has everything to offer


Taxi : dubai taxi is all over the city. they chrages plug down of 3 aed and minimum fare of 10 aed. Inside is clean, with music, gps, meter, some has magazine for you to read, comments and they have a reciept in case you need it. The driver is wearing Uniform and they speak english. they are friendly actually, but you'll hate it coz some to most of them has body odor.

Carlift: this is another means of transpo here in Dubai. You will find them ussually in the mall approaching you asking Carlift sir. they ussually charges the same like the metered taxi only its negotiable. but be careful for security reason its not advisable to take this coz its not legitimate in dubai.

Dubai Bus: The only thing i hate is the smell of the other passenger who are not aware of their bad smell. The rest is good. iside there is monitor a Gps like where in you will know the next bus stop. buzzer if you want to go down, the seats are comportable, you can see the view outside good for sight seeing, the ticket is a reloadable prepaid card which you can also use for the metro train. they chrages 1 aed + minimum, therse is no music, special seats for ladies and family.

Dubai Metro: Dubai metro is cool. but then again the smell of the other will make you vomit the food you just ear before taking  the metro. Dubai metro is nice for long travel. nice view outside. when you use the metro its like your see the whole dubai. Inside is a clean and comportable seats, a little bit boring coz they have only one music, no print ads no Tv commercial etc. they have purely regulations of using the metro.They have nice airconditioned metro station. loading machine for prepaid ticket card, friendly passengers assistants. youll enjoy your travel.

Dubai abra and Water bus : Its really nice, it will be one of a good experience if you take abra when travelling to other side of the creek.
