BurJuman Mall, one of Dubai’s most iconic shopping destinations, is set to roll out a ticketless paid parking system, marking a major step toward smart urban mobility. The new automated system, powered by Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras, will streamline parking by eliminating the need for physical tickets and reducing wait times.
This digital transformation aligns with Dubai’s smart city initiative, following similar implementations at Mall of the Emirates, Deira City Centre, and Dubai Mall over the past year.
