Dubai’s RTA launches GCC’s first digital nol card in partnership with Huawei

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has teamed up with Huawei Consumer Business Group to launch GCC’s first digital transport ticketing card.

The digital nol card and nol Pay mobile app are now on the Huawei AppGallery.

The new app allows users to buy tickets for Dubai Metro, water buses, trams and more through nol Pay app and Huawei Wallet. Users can also recharge their digital nol cards directly through the app. Huawei Wallet provides the underlying NFC technology support to the nol Pay app.

“The nol Pay app provides users with the flexibility to purchase tickets on all RTA’s transportation services, from Dubai Metro up to waterbus, Tram and more,” said Mohammed Al Mudharreb, CEO, Corporate Technology Support Services Sector of RTA, Dubai.

“This new app also aligns with our overall digital transformation strategy to adopt fourth industrial revolution technologies into Dubai’s transport sector,” he added.

The AppGallery is Huawei’s exclusive app store. There’s yet no word of when and if the digital nol card will be available on Android and iOS platforms.

“We are proud to be working with RTA as it continues its journey to adopt digital technology into the services it offers,” said Pablo Ning, president of Huawei Consumer Business Group, Middle East & Africa.

“The success of this partnership highlights HUAWEI AppGallery’s ongoing commitment to work with local partners in developing the most innovative and compelling experience for our users,” he added.
