Riding GOVA Plus

Unlike the conventional GOVA transit system, GOVA Plus works on a pre-booked shared-ride schedule. This means that anyone registered for the service can book a trip up to seven days in advance, and riders may book up to three trips at once.

All bookings are made on a first come, first served basis, and unless you are booking a ride for a medical appointment, rides must be booked to and from your destination. To avoid disappointment, try to book your rides at least two days in advance. Last minute / same day bookings are subject to system availability. 

If you are booking a ride to attend a medical appointment, your return ride may be booked as a “Call for Return” with no scheduled time for pick-up. Either you, or the medical office receptionist must call 705-670-2300 to notify GOVA Plus that you are ready for your return ride.

If you require consistent transportation to the same destination, on the same day(s) and at the time every week, this is what is known as a standing order.
