Sharjah

The public bus system in Sharjah is called MOWASALAT. To use public buses you would need to purchase a Sayer card, which is a smart card that enables passengers to electronically pay their fare on any Sharjah Public Transport bus.

Where to buy a Sayer card?

Sayer cards can be purchased on-board through your Sharjah Public Transport bus driver. They can be recharged in the same way.

What if I don’t have a Sayer card?

If you don’t have a Sayer card, you will be required to purchase a cash ticket of Dh8 on an intracity bus trip.

There are two kinds of Sayer cards, both costing Dh5 to purchase:

1. Sayer Discount Card

• 25 per cent discount on Cash Ticket, so you will be charged Dh6 for intracity bus trips instead

• Valid for five years

• This card can be recharged for Dh45 or Dh90

2. Sayer Subscription Card

• Unlimited travel

• Valid for five years

• This card must be recharged every month for Dh225
