Help, please, deal with the subway in Dubai
I have already been told that when traveling on the subway, they buy special "vouchers", which have money on their account. But .. can I buy coupons with a different amount on the account? I need just one trip from st. Al-Riga to st. Dubai Mall (and vice versa, of course). How much should it be in the dirham account? Thank you very much.

Go not to the machine, but to the cashier, ask for his ticket to the Dubai Mall (in my opinion this is station number 25), he will give you a red card. That's all. Do not forget that you need to scan the card both at the entrance and at the exit of the metro.

Red card - a one-day ticket costs 2 AED, plus - your journey starts in zone 5, ends in 6. The fare will be 4.5 AED one way in a regular class. The maximum fare on the red card one way is AED 6.5. More than 14 per day are not written off, then you ride for free. Also, a trip by metro is entitled to free travel by bus or shuttle bus (for example, from the metro to the Dubai Mall) within 30 minutes after leaving the metro (apply the card to the reader when entering and exiting).

We rested in December 2012 and used one-time metro cards, buying them at the box office, calling where to go.
We lived near Al Rigga metro station. Travel from AlRigga to Dubai Mall (Burj Khalifa Burj Khalifa observation deck-fountains) round-trip by metro 11 dirhams ($ 3) per person.
1$=3.66 dirhams.
from Al Rigga to Emirate Mall (Sail-Burj Al Arab Hotel and Dubai Venice) from Al Rigga station round-trip per person 15 dirhams.

You need to take the subway once to see what the future is like ...
If you are four people, then it is more profitable to take a taxi, just not at rush hour so as not to get into a traffic jam, the meter counts until the last second of the fare calculation!
A two-color taxi is cheaper, from Al Rigga to Dubai Mall it costs about 22 dirhams, and back is more expensive by 3 dirhams, because the road is different.
Also to Jumeirah beach, if you go not by a hotel bus but by taxi, there 17 dirhams, back 22 dirhams.

The easiest way to avoid errors and penalties:
In the subway, go to the operator's window, say the stop you want to get to, pay, they give you a ticket. You can buy a round-trip right away if you are sure that you will also go back.
Do not throw away the card after the journey, it can be used during the day.

You can travel from end to end without leaving the subway and get off at the original station (like a city tour on the subway). In this case, the price of one stop-1.8 dirhams will be deducted. The bottom line is that at the entrance a card is fixed, and at the exit the fare is debited. It's official and illegal. If you want to get out somewhere, the cost of your journey will be deducted, but for the whole day no more than 14 dirhams per person, then on that day you can travel for free both by metro and by bus. After exiting the subway, the bus is free for 30 minutes. The card is replenished at the cash desk, but the amount of replenishment is a multiple of 5 (5-10-15, etc.). All this applies to cards: red one-day and silver, valid for five years, even with a zero balance. Red costs two dirhs, silver six (charged off at the first entrance to the subway). We did not use one-time tickets, as we traveled a lot.
