The cost of buying a card for the first time is 30 dirhams, and the available balance in the electronic wallet is 20 dirhams. Cards can be refilled at the same sales outlets at the main bus station in the southern Al Dhait area. They can also be purchased directly from buses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span class=\"x_sw\">H.E Eng. Esmaeel Hasan Al Blooshi &#8211; General Manager of RAKTA, confirmed that with the launch of the E-Saqr card, there will be ease in using buses to get on and off and to reduce the time of the fare payment process. In addition, the electronic <\/span><span class=\"x_sw\">toll collection system will provide a database to help plan and develop the public transport system.\u00a0Saqr Card is also part of RAKTA&#8217;s strategy to smartly transform services and provide flexible and intelligentpayment solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based on RAKTA&#8217;s efforts to provide smart transportation solutions in line with its strategic directions to encourage mass transportation and achieve integration between the various transportation systems to facilitate the journey of customers through the public transportation system and to provide flexible payment options by activating the electronic collection system for public transport bus fares, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8753,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[],"press_release_topic":[61],"latest_news_topic":[],"class_list":["post-8755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-media-center","category-press-releases","press_release_topic-community-life"],"acf":{"related_to_hh":"no","hidden_photo_gallery":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.7 -
