RTA will reward the most frequent public transport users across six categories, selecting three winners from each category, each awarded the title of 'Public Transport Champion.'
The first-place winner will receive 1 million nol+ points, the runner-up will receive 500,000 nol+ points, and the third-place finisher will receive 250,000 nol+ points. The three winners will be honoured at a ceremony.
One of the event’s highlights is the 'Mysterious Man Challenge.' Participants must search for the 'Mysterious Man' at metro stations over three days, from Wednesday, October 30 to Friday, November 1. Each day will have one winner who will receive Dh10,000. The lucky winner will be on Friday, November 1 and will get an additional 50-gram gold bar, alongside the Dh10,000 cash prize.
“This year's theme of the Public Transport Day aims to encourage residents and visitors to contribute to making Dubai the best city in the world for living by opting for RTA’s public transport services, which include the metro, tram, public buses, marine transport, and other soft mobility options like bicycles, e-scooters, and walking to reach public transport stations and stops across the city," Abdulla Yousef Al Ali, CEO of Corporate Administrative Support Sector, RTA, said.
