Winners will not only enjoy the thrill of being named champions but will also pocket 1 million Nol+ points, redeemable across public transport systems and partner merchants citywide. Second and third-place winners won’t leave empty-handed either, bagging 500,000 and 250,000 points respectively.
The fun doesn’t stop there. One of the quirkiest challenges to watch out for is the “Mysterious Man Challenge” in collaboration with the Arabian Radio Network (ARN). Between October 30 and November 1, eagle-eyed metro commuters should keep an eye out for a mysterious figure lurking around stations. Spot him, and you could win Dhs10,000. But wait – on Public Transport Day, the prize sweetens with an additional 50-gram gold bar!
So, if you’re already commuting or even planning to, this is your golden opportunity, quite literally. From points to prizes, every journey could bring you closer to a win. Just imagine scrolling through your Nol+ balance after this week with a smug grin on your face.
As the saying goes, “the journey is the reward”, but with RTA’s Public Transport Day, it’s also gold, cash, and a ton of Nol+ points.
