Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has established clear rules regarding unaccompanied minors using public transport like the metro and buses. These guidelines ensure the safety and convenience of young passengers:

• Children Below 8 Years: Recommended to travel with adults.
• Children Aged 8-11: Can travel alone but should have a permission slip from parents.
• Children 12 Years and Above: Can travel alone without adult supervision.

Additionally, the RTA offers a student Nol card for reduced fares, making public transport a cost-effective option for students.
