Clever Metro users sit in the gold card department, while they swipe their silver Nol card.
The golden Nol card provides you access to a distinguished Metro section, which is more spacious, more comfortable and less crowded.What if this could all be enjoyed while entering the Metro with the cheaper silver Nol card?
Nothing comes free. In order to enjoy the benefits of the gold card department, the gold card holder pays double the fee of the silver card holder.
But clever Metro users have figured out a way to circumvent paying the extra fee, while enjoying the extra comfort. While they swipe their silver card to get in, they confidently enter the gold card department.
“You need to have both cards to do this,” says BC, a resident of Dubai. “When anybody asks you to show your gold card you will be able to do so. But that does not mean that you actually swiped that card.
I did not actually plan to do this, and I do not do it all the time,” BC continues. But I have the gold card in case it is really crowded in the common areas. Then I prefer to sit in the gold card department. More info
