To ride any public transport in Dubai (metro, bus, tram) you'll need the single Nol travel card — you can buy and top it up right at the vending machines at the station, with cash or a bank card. A single paper ticket costs more than the same trip on a Nol card, so the card pays for itself within the first day of frequent use.
