Transit authority investigating a suspicious network activity, disabled access to some online services

Metro Vancouver's transit authority says it's investigating suspicious network activity affecting its computer systems.

TransLink says in a statement that it has disabled access to some online services, which may affect customers, out of an abundance of caution.

It says that means customers won't be able to use credit or debit cards at Compass Card vending machines or Tap-to-Pay fare gates.

TransLink also says stored values may take longer to load and other online services, like the Trip Planning tool, have been disabled.
