Hello everyone! Budget-conscious student here. What's the smartest way to save money on transport in Dubai while still being able to get everywhere I need?

Hello! Smart approach is mixing transport modes based on what you need. For regular class commutes on Metro routes, definitely get the RTA student Nol card for 50% discount - that's unbeatable for those trips. For everything else that public transport doesn't handle well, consider splitting a monthly car rental with a friend or two. When you divide a ~AED 1,500 monthly rental among 2-3 people and share driving duties, it becomes incredibly affordable per person. You get the Metro savings plus car flexibility without breaking the bank. Also look for student-friendly monthly rental deals from agencies.

Being strategic about when you use what saves the most!
