Not all university students in Dubai resort to public transport while travelling to their institutions, with many using private cars to reach their destination. While metro travellers may face the hurdle or large crowds, these students face a different dilemma - finding a parking spot.
With UAE's heat, many students might not want to park in open spaces as this could damage their vehicles. Additionally, while sitting through long classes, students might end up paying quite a bit for paid parking.
Dubai's RTA provides a permit for university students to obtain parking at slots with codes A, B, C, and D surrounding the premises of the educational institution within a radius of 500m. This permit can be linked to only one vehicle and cannot be used for reserved parking.
