A total of 74 per cent of people who are run over by cars in Dubai are Asian labourers, statistics reveal. Maitha bin Oudey, the executive director of the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA), said that the figure highlights the need for intensified traffic awareness campaigns targeting this group of residents.

“If Nol Silver Card users spend Dh14, all their trips on the Metro or bus routes will be free,” Mohammad Youssef Al Mudharrab, Director, Automated Fare Collection Card, Road and Transport Authority (RTA), told Emirates 24|7. Gold card users also have a daily cap of Dh14, but the calculation is based on the trip fare only and not on the surcharge.

Work stalled on big-ticket projects including Dubai Metro’s Green Line and the Al Sufouh Tram, over complaints of non-payment from contractors. The RTA said in January it would seek funding for nearly a third of its infrastructure schemes over the next five years in a bid to spread the risk and cost of large projects.
