RTA Increases Minimum Top-Up Amount for Metro Nol Smart Cards to Dh50, Starting Today

Effective August 17, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has increased the minimum top-up amount for Nol cards at Metro station ticket offices to Dh50, up from Dh20, according to an announcement on X. This change does not apply to online top-ups.

"Starting August 17, 2024, the minimum top-up at Metro station ticket offices will increase to Dh50," the RTA stated.

In January, the minimum top-up had already been raised from Dh5 to Dh20. To cover a round trip on the Metro, commuters must maintain a minimum balance of Dh15 on their Nol cards.

The Nol card, a prepaid smart card, is used for various public transport services in Dubai, including the Metro, buses, trams, and waterbuses.

It can also be used to pay for taxi fares, parking, entry to Dubai public parks, the Etihad Museum, and at over 2,000 shops, restaurants, and stores across the city.
