The new scheme is part of Dubai's efforts to cut waste and offer paperless services by 2021

Motorists in Dubai will no longer have to display paper parking tickets on their dashboards following the introduction of a new e-ticket system.

The media office also shared an image of an interactive menu, which would be available on the new e-ticket parking meters which will be introduced in the emirate.

Currently, motorists can avoid having to use pay and display parking tickets by signing up for an SMS service on their mobile phones.

The cost of public parking in Dubai varies by district, with the most expensive costing up to Dh4 an hour.
