New Benefits for Students
The nol student card, which traditionally offered a 50 percent discount on the fares of public transport fares, now offers more than just travel purposes. As a result of the RTA collaboration with the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) Association, students can access:
- Shopping, dining, flights, and accommodation at up to 70% discount in more than 130 different countries.
- The use of nol cards to pay for money at school canteens helps parents to easily handle daily provisions and school trips.
- International recognition as a global student identity card, doubling as an enrolment certificate globally.
In addition to affordable travel, we are making the students to access thousands of global offers, besides streamlining day-to-day payments, including school meals, added Salah Al Deen Al Marzooqi, Director of the Automated Collection System (ACS) Department at the RTA.
