Registered Nol card users have the benefit of having their regular silver or gold Nol card linked with their mobile number. This makes it easier for RTA to refund the previous card's balance or transfer it to a new Nol card.
Those who might have lost the card on the metro can immediately visit their nearest metro station's ticket office to inform of the incident and proceed with blocking the card and submitting a refund request.
Here are the steps to follow in other cases:
The refund is approved after four days from the submission date.
The Personal Nol card or what one would refer to as the 'blue' card in layman's term is offered to give concession fares and is applicable for certain groups of people. In case of losing this card, here is what one can do:
