GOVA Transit Users Warned of Online Fare Scam

Jun 16, 2025

The City of Greater Sudbury is warning GOVA Transit riders about a fraudulent Facebook page claiming to sell discounted bus passes and ride cards.

The unauthorized page is promoting deeply discounted fares and directs users to a fraudulent website. Residents are strongly advised not to click on any links from this page or provide any personal or payment information.

If you see this fraudulent page, please report it to Facebook for removal.

Please remember that official GOVA service updates and fare information are only available through the City of Greater Sudbury's official channels. This includes the City’s website at www.greatersudbury.ca and the official City of Greater Sudbury Facebook page.

To ensure you are purchasing legitimate fares, never buy bus passes or ride cards from unauthorized sellers. A complete list of official vendors is available online at https://www.greatersudbury.ca/live/transit/where-to-buy-bus-passes-and-ride-cards/.

Anyone with questions or concerns about the legitimacy of a vendor or promotion is encouraged to call 311 for more information.
