The Nol card used to pay for trips on Dubai's metro, buses and trams will now also work on The Palm Monorail, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) said.
The monorail is owned by property developer Nakheel and previously required the purchase of a separate ticket to board.
Now the smartcard for Dubai's public transport network can also be used by people to pay for their journeys.
The Palm Monorail connects sites on The Palm Jumeirah beginning from the Gateway station, to Golden Mile Galleria, Al Ittihad Park, Nakheel Mall and Atlantis Aquaventure station as the last stop.
“This initiative supports the efforts to integrate the public transport networks and offer seamless mobility journeys for riders all over Dubai," said the RTA's Mohammed Yousef Al Mudharreb.
The Nol card can also be used to pay the entry fee for Dubai Municipality public parks and the Etihad Museum.
Last week, the new Pointe station opened in time for a major music festival in which Lebanese dance troupe Mayyas performed.

Mayyas took home the 'America's Got Talent' crown and a $1 million prize. -

The Dubai show also marked the first time Myyas had performed together in the Middle East, outside of their home city of Beirut, since their 'America's Got Talent' triumph. -

Mayyas performed as part of the Recognising Emerging Local Musicians Relm Fest event at The Pointe. -

A large crowd gathered to watch Mayyas appear at the three-day festival celebrating regional talent. -

The group co-ordinated in black bedlah-style attire. -

Relm Fest aims to help emerging musicians in the Middle East take their careers to the next level. -

Key findings of Jenkins report
- Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
- Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
- Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
- Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."
