Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is set to launch a new generation of nol–Jaywan cards in November 2026. This card will merge Dubai's existing nol payment system with the UAE's national card payment scheme, Jaywan, to provide a single payment solution for public transport, digital services, and over 120 promotional offers and discounts.
The cards will initially be tested in several everyday transport services, including Dubai Metro, buses, taxis, and public parking. For those already holding an nol card, a replacement will be necessary. The new card can be used digitally on Android and iOS smartphones, allowing users to manage card services through their mobile devices.
However, specifics about the smartphone features and their availability during the initial pilot phase have not been disclosed. RTA aims for the card to make paying for travel, accessing digital services, and benefiting from additional offers more convenient for residents, marking a significant step in Dubai's transportation and payment system evolution.
