Residents and tourists alike rely on the extensive public transport system in Dubai to get around.
Dubai's public transport system has many strict rules and regulations in place to ensure that everyone can have a safe and enjoyable journey. So, if one does violate a rule, they will be subject to hefty fines. Some serious violations could even cost a traveller up to Dh500.
Recently, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority said that an automated passenger counting (APC) system will be installed in new buses to curb fare evasion. The system works by recording actual passenger numbers and matching them against the automated fare collection.
