Students in Dubai can now enjoy a 50% discount on public transport, thanks to the nol Student Package introduced by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). This initiative offers students significant savings, not only on transport but also on a variety of retail products.
Here’s what students can benefit from with the nol Student Package:
1. 50% Discount on Public Transport
Students from schools and universities across the UAE can get half off on public transport in Dubai, including the metro, buses, and other transit options. The discount makes daily commuting more affordable for students, allowing them to save significantly on travel expenses.
2. Up to 70% Off on Retail
In addition to transport savings, students can enjoy discounts of up to 70% on local and international brands, both within the UAE and abroad. This offers students a range of retail savings across multiple categories, making everyday shopping more budget-friendly.
3. A Convenient Payment Method
The nol Student Card also doubles as a payment method, allowing users to pay at various retail outlets across the UAE. The card’s flexibility enhances convenience, making it an all-in-one solution for transport and shopping.
4. Personalised International Student Identification
The nol card comes integrated with a personalised International Student Identity Card (ISIC). This unique feature ensures that students can enjoy exclusive benefits and discounts, not only in Dubai but also globally.
5. Upcoming Features for Parents
Later this year, RTA will introduce new features to the nol Student Card, enabling parents to manage their children’s accounts. Parents will be able to top up balances and set spending limits, giving them more control over their children’s transport and retail expenses.
How to Get the nol Student Card
The nol Student Card can be easily requested via the nol Pay app, and it will be delivered to the address specified by the student. This hassle-free process ensures that students can access their card quickly and start enjoying its benefits.
Launched During GITEX Global 2024
The nol Student Package was launched during GITEX Global (14-18 October 2024), showcasing Dubai’s commitment to innovation and student well-being. The initiative is part of a collaboration between the RTA and the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) Association, further expanding its scope to international students.

Looking Ahead
The nol Student Package stems from an agreement signed in February 2024 between RTA and ISIC at the Middle East and North Africa Transport Congress and Exhibition. As RTA continues to enhance the features and accessibility of the nol Student Card, it opens up more opportunities for students to save and manage their daily expenses effectively.
