Buses on three routes in Ajman will no longer accept cash payments starting September 17, 2026, according to the Ajman Transport Authority. Only Masaar Money cards and bank cards will be accepted for bus fares on the Sharjah, Dubai, and Umm Al Quwain routes. Masaar Money is the official card for Ajman bus rides and is available for free from all Ajman Transport Authority branches and approved sales points, though it must be topped up before use. The same payment rules will apply at the Speed Vehicle Testing and Registration Centre, where only electronic payments will be accepted from the same date.
