RTA Nol Card Recharge Online
In Dubai, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) issues Nol cards, versatile cards designed not only for streamlined public transport payments but also to unlock an array of additional services throughout the city.
Minimum Balance Requirement
To utilize the metro, bus, or any other public transportation, it’s essential to ensure that your Nol card maintains a minimum balance of Dh7.5. Anonymous (unregistered) Nol cards can be loaded with up to Dh1,000, while registered or personal Nol cards have the flexibility to be recharged with a higher limit of Dh5,000.
