“I regularly use RTA’s smart services like Salik top up, Nol top up and parking payment. I find it more convenient rather than using conventional options. The apps are easy to use and have plenty of options, which makes people want to use the digital services more often.”

“I am big fan of RTA’s mobile applications. I think they are ahead of the curve. I have been only using RTA’s online platforms since I came here three years ago and I have not found any reason to go the customer service centres. I do my vehicle registration, Salik top up, Nol top up, fine payment and all other jobs through apps.”
