Ways to pay RTA fines for violations on public transport:

Passenger can pay the fine to the inspector who issued it on the spot. When the fine is issued, a passenger receives a notification from Road and Transport Authority (RTA) specifying the fine amount.

The RTA website has a dedicated portal through which you can pay fines.

RTA Customer Happiness Centres around the city offer fine paying services as well. All you need is the fine number received from RTA at the time of issuing.

Disputing your fine:

If you want to dispute a fine issued by an inspector in the Metro, ensure that you have all the required documents. These include the fine number stated on the fine notification, fine payment receipt (if the fine is paid through the inspector or service centres), copy of the fine notification form, copy of the nol card or the card number printed on the backside of the nol card, copy of the visit visa + entry stamp + passport copy (for customers on a visit visa), and any other document that can support the appeal application.

You can dispute your fine via email, send an email to ask@rta.ae with the subject title ‘Fine appeal’ and the fine number; attach documents to the email.
