In the UAE, Dubai residents who rely on public transport like the Metro, it’s important to ensure their cards are sufficiently topped up. As per the new update from RTA, starting from Saturday, March 1, the minimum amount for recharging a Nol card at Dubai Metro vending machines will be AED20.
On social media, the Road and Transport Authority shared, “Recharge your balance through digital payment channels, and save time and effort. The minimum recharge limit for the Nol Card card through ticket vending machines will be AED 20 starting from March 1.”
This is to ensure the residents have a smoother journey. The RTA Dubai app, nol Pay app, and the official transport authority website have been recommended as alternative ways to top-up your nol card, allowing passengers to avoid queues at stations.
In August 2024, the RTA implemented a new policy requiring a minimum Nol card top-up of AED50 at metro ticket offices. This followed a previous increase in January 2024, when the minimum top-up amount was raised from AED 5 to AED20.
“For more information, you can review the Help Guide page on the Authority’s website: http://rta.ae or contact the Customer Service Center directly around the clock on the number: 800 90 90,” the post further read.
