RTA launches giveaway with incredible prizes

To celebrate Public Transport Day, which will be celebrated on 1 November, the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a competition for residents and visitors to the emirate.

Passengers who frequently use various public transport modes in Dubai have the chance to win 1 million Nol+ points, AED 10,000 in cash or a 50-gram gold bar.

Starting from Monday, 28 October until Friday, 1 November, the RTA is organising a host of events and promotions to celebrate the holiday. Public Transport Day is celebrated every year on 1 November and this year’s theme will be ‘Good for you, great for Dubai’.

The RTA will award the most frequent public transport users in six categories: the most frequent user from 2009 to 1 November 2024, the most frequent user from the week of Public Transport Day 2024, the most frequent user from RTA employees, the most frequent user from people with special needs, seniors and students.

Three winners will be selected in each category and will be awarded the title of Public Transit Champion. The first place winner will receive 1 million Nol+ points, the second place winner will receive 500,000 Nol+ points and the third place winner will receive 250,000 Nol+ points. The three winners will be honoured at a ceremony.

One of the highlights of the event is the Mystery Man. Participants must search for a ‘mystery man’ at metro stations for three days, from Wednesday, 30 October to Friday, 1 November. One winner will be announced each day and will receive a cash prize of Dh10,000. The lucky winner on Friday, 1 November will receive an additional 50 gram gold bar as well as a cash prize of Dh10,000.
