Partnership with Dubai’s RTA
Etihad Rail’s passenger trains are making progress towards becoming a reality with a new partnership with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). The RTA will be the ticketing and payment partner for Etihad Rail, allowing nol card users to book tickets and pay fares.
Significant Step Towards Integration
This agreement, signed between high-ranking officials at the World Governments Summit, signifies a milestone in integrating Etihad Rail with RTA’s transport modes, aiming to enhance the UAE’s mass transportation system.
Digital Transformation and Enhanced Services
The collaboration between Etihad Rail and RTA aligns with the UAE’s vision for digital transformation and providing integrated, user-friendly digital services. This move is in line with the leadership’s directives to enhance coordination among government entities and develop a unified digital platform.
Advancements in Nol Card System
RTA’s recent announcement of a Dhs350 million upgrade to the nol card system, incorporating facial recognition and other biometric data for increased security in payment transactions, further supports Dubai’s journey towards a cashless society and improved online payment security.
