If you’re a regular user of the Dubai Metro, you’ll be familiar with the variety of Nol cards available. From personalized cards to single-use options, each type caters to different needs, including special concessions for students and senior citizens.
One of the most convenient options is the travel pass, which is loaded onto a Nol card and allows unlimited travel on public transport within specified zones. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to get a monthly or annual travel pass, along with the prices for different categories.
Types of Travel Passes
The travel pass on a Nol card lets you travel multiple times on any line of public transport, such as buses, metro, and trams. However, it does not cover buses across cities, seasonal buses, Dubai taxis, or marine transport vessels.
