The Palm Monorail now accepts Nol cards as payment, when previously you had to purchase a separate ticket if you wished to ride.
On October 25, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced that riders of The Palm Monorail can now pay using their Nol gold, silver, or blue cards.
But what are the RTA Nol card and the Palm Monorail? Here is everything you require to know.
The Palm Monorail
The 5.5 km-long Palm Monorail route connects the Palm Jumeirah’s major attractions. It connects important locations in The Palm and is the only public transit system on the Palm Jumeirah.
The Palm Monorail stations
The Palm Monorail has five stations:
- Nakheel Mall
- Palm Gateway
- Al Ittihad Park
- Atlantis Aquaventure
- The Pointe
The Palm Monorail timings
Palm Gateway Station
First train – 9am
Last train – 9.45pm
Atlantis Aquaventure station
First train – 9.15 am
Last train – 10pm.
The same timings apply for both weekdays and weekends.
The time gap between every departure is 15 minutes.
Ticket cost
A round-trip ticket costs Dh15 and can cost up to Dh30, while a single-trip ticket costs Dh10 and can cost up to Dh20.
It is also crucial to keep in mind that if you have parked your car at a station, you will only receive three hours of free parking once you validate your ticket and will then be charged Dh10 per hour for each consecutive hour that your vehicle remains there.
