Top up Salik through SMS

Topping up Salik has just got easier as the Roads and Transport Authority added another medium of recharge through SMS.
The new topup system is already active and can be availed through both Etisalat and du mobiles at a cost of 30 fils per SMS.
“We are introducing this new topup system for greater convenience of our customers, which is part of RTA’s vision. We are trying to make things as simple for people as possible,” said Engineer Maitha Bin Udai, CEO of RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency.
According to sources at the Intelligent Traffic Systems Department at the Traffic & Roads Agency, the system has been operational for the last couple of weeks as a trial and the response to the system has been exceptional.

The new system, which is much simpler, will do away with multiple steps required to top up Salik through other existing systems.
“We have noticed that the existing options for topping up Salik accounts, be it through telephone calls or Salik webpage, require several steps to go through. Therefore, we have capitalised on our efforts and expertise to provide another additional option in a bid to offer a handy service to customers and accordingly raise their satisfaction rating,” added Maitha.
