Dubai Metro lets passengers travel from one end of the city to the other for price as low as Dh 5.80 thus making it affordable, convenient and a luxurious ride. A unified multi-modal ticketing system has been introduced in the form of an NOL Card which is basically a pre-paid transport card. Nol in Arabic means fare. Dirhams can be pre-loaded in the card and balance can be used to travel on public transport (buses and water bus) all around Dubai as part of the same journey without extra charges.
The Dubai metro map has been divided into certain Tiers (zones) and therefore the tickets will be taken according to that zoning system.
Other Facilities:

Rashidiya station and Nakheel Harbor and Tower station have space for 3,000 vehicles. Parking fee will be charged for those not using the metro.
