Saskatoon Transit is warning residents of a “Saskatoon Public Transport Card” fare scam on social media and through a fraudulent website.

A fraudulent social media account is advertising a scam offer for a $2.00 Go-Pass that supposedly provides six months of unlimited travel. Additionally, a linked website falsely impersonates as an official Saskatoon Transit page, promoting the opportunity to receive one of 500 limited edition cards for six months of unlimited travel through an online survey. This deceptive tactic seeks to mislead individuals into purchasing a fake pass and sharing their personal information.

To find the complete list of fare prices for Saskatoon Transit, visit: saskatoontransit.ca/fares-passes.

How to identify a potential scam:

• The scam offers seem too good to be true.
• The website may not be an official webpage or social media account page.
• Requests for personal or financial information are a red flag.

Helpful reminders to help protect residents from potential scammers: 

• The City never requests or collects credit card, bank accounts or any sort of personal information from customers via phone, text, social media, or email. 
• Never give out your personal or banking information, or credit card number over the phone, by text, on social media, by email, or on a non-trusted website. It is a best practice to block suspicious phone numbers, email addresses or social media accounts and delete them after reporting. 
• Do not click on suspicious web links. 

• Always verify information from trusted sources:
  • Official website:
    • Saskatoon.ca
    • Saskatoontransit.ca or Transit.saskatoon.ca
  • Social media channels:
    • @cityofsaskatoon
    • @stoontransit

Scammers typically use the information gathered to get money or commit identity theft.

Residents should contact their bank if they have become a victim of fraud and report these types of phone or online scams to Saskatoon Police Service at saskatoonpolice.ca/onlinereporting/fraud/ or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, 1-888-495-8501.

Concerned residents may also call the City of Saskatoon to speak with a Customer Service Representative at 306-975-2400. 

Avenue H will be closed between Walmer and Bedford roads starting Tuesday, November 5, at 7:00 a.m. for service connection replacements. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the work zone. This project is expected to take two days to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.
