The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority's (RTA) effort to keep the Metro launch date alive received more than 200 entries from parents whose babies were born on September 9 this year.
More rewards
Both the mother and father will get Nol Silver Cards valid for travel on the Metro for one year.
RTA spokesperson Peyman Younus Parham says these babies will keep getting more rewards as they grow older with the Metro, for they will always be considered special people, just like the Metro is special.
There is also the possibility that they may get free lifetime passes for the Metro in future.
