This permit can be linked to only one vehicle
Not all university students in Dubai resort to public transport while travelling to their institutions, with many using private cars to reach their destination. While metro travellers may face the hurdle or large crowds, these students face a different dilemma — finding a parking spot.
With UAE's heat, many students might not want to park in open spaces as this could damage their vehicles. Additionally, while sitting through long classes, students might end up paying quite a bit for paid parking.
