The anonymous Hafilat Card is ideal for short-term stays, as it can be purchased from ticket vending machines and selected retailers without any documentation. Once topped up, it can be used immediately on public buses across the emirate.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1765796022251\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What Should You Do if Your Hafilat Card Is Lost?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If your Hafilat Card is lost, you should report it as soon as possible at a Customer Happiness Centre or an authorised service point to have the card blocked.

This helps prevent unauthorised use and, in the case of a personalised Hafilat Card, allows you to recover the remaining balance and transfer it to a replacement card. Unfortunately, balances on anonymous cards cannot be retrieved once lost, so replacing the card will require purchasing a new one.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"}]}},"lang":"en","translations":{"en":59414,"ar":60503},"pll_sync_post":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59414"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30271"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59414"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59414\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":196704,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59414\/revisions\/196704"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
