Future Plans
Right now, existing Nol card users can’t switch to the new Nol Travel Card, but the RTA is considering this option for the future. Mohammed Al Mudharreb, CEO of the Corporate Technology Support Services Sector at RTA, said this card aims to meet customers’ needs by integrating public transportation and city facilities into one payment method, with discounts exceeding 100% and a value of over AED 17,000.
Special Packages & Benefits
Salahaldeen Almarzouqi, director of the Automated Collection Systems Department, mentioned that the new card will have its own packages with various benefits and discounts. It’s a physical card now, but they plan to add a digital version with a barcode in the future.
