The number of Nol cards issued by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai between November 11 and December 31 reached 35,000.
That includes cards used by public transport riders on the Metro, tram and buses.
The tram launched on November 11. There were 145 Nol cards issued to seniors during that time. “Selling this considerable number of different types of weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly Nol cards reveals that the objectives underlying the launch of these initiatives, such as easing the use of mass transit means and encouraging the public to use such modes through the provision of these cards, have started to materialise on the ground,” said Khaled Al Awadi, director of Automated Fare Collections at RTA’s Technical Corporate Support Services, said.
