Dubai bus and taxi drivers receive Dh500 worth of Ramadan rations through nol cards

Dubai: Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on Sunday marked Zayed Humanitarian Day, which corresponds to the 19th of Ramadan each year, a date that marks the death of the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

“RTA has distributed Ramadan rations this year through nol cards, each valued at Dh500, to eligible taxi and bus drivers,” said Rowdah Al Mehrizi, Director of Marketing and Corporate Communication, Corporate Administrative Support Services Sector, RTA.

“These cards can be used in paying for purchases across several retail outlets in Dubai and other Emirates as detailed in the envelopes containing these cards. They are also good for paying public transport fares and parking fees in the Emirate of Dubai.”

The event comes in line with RTA’s participating in humanitarian and charitable events organised in Ramadan.
