RTA honours frequent Nol Plus users

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has recently honoured several members of Nol Plus Programme most frequent users offering them an array of 13 valuable prizes.

A winner walked away with a fully paid trip covering air tickets and accommodation worth Dhs25,000. Ten other members got iPads.

“Nol Plus Programme demonstrates our commitment and readiness to serve the needs of Nol cards users across the board, be it in public transport means, malls, retail outlets, taxis and parking machines,” said Mohammed Al Khayyat, Director of RTA’s Automated Fare Collection Systems.

“Nol Plus Programme attracts wide attention of Nol card users. The initiative has generated added value to Nol card and boosted the value of the card amongst the public, thanks to the rewards and benefits on offer.

“Rewarding members of Nol Plus Programme is a true manifestation of RTA’s care for customers and its keenness to maximise their satisfaction and happiness through associating the use of Nol cards with diverse services that go beyond the payment of fares. It always seeks to celebrate customers by offering them unique experience whenever nol card is used,” concluded Al Khayyat.

Last month, RTA completed the installation of 100 Nol top-up machines powered by solar energy in several parts of Dubai.

The step was part of RTA’s efforts to expand the use of renewable energy in all services and projects in support of the government drive towards a green and sustainable economy.

“The installation of 100 solar-powered Nol card recharging machines across Dubai is part of RTA’s strategy to provide alternative renewable energy sources. It will help in realising RTA’s objective of reducing power consumption in accordance with Dubai Supreme Council of Energy strategy,” said Khalid Al Awadi, Director of Transportation Systems at RTA’s Public Transport Agency.

“The new machines have been installed at bus stations and frequently busy spots like Al Qusais, International City, Mall of the Emirates, Sahara Centre. The step increases the number of solar-powered Nol card recharging machines from 78 to 178 machines.

“The installation of these systems will shorten the time taken in Nol card top-ups. Moreover, clients can use their credit cards to top-up Nol cards online through RTA’s website and activate the credit through the existing machines.
