The 10.6 km long tram line currently serves 11 stations, with around 8 more planned. There are future plans to connect the Tram line with the monorail that serves Palm Jumeirah. The operators and owners of the line are infact two different entity’s. It is owned by the Road and Transport Authority (Dubai) and is operated by Serco. The Dubai tramway is special for the fact that it is the first tramway network out of Europe that uses a ground-based electric supply system.

Just how Nol cards are used for payment on the metro, it can be used for other public transportations like busses and even trams. The fare however, again depends on the number of zones one travels.
