> Bruce,

> Hope you are having a good day.   I was visiting with Jim Marks this morning
> and he asked if I would share my information that I have about the intercity
> bus service in Great Falls south towards Helena, and Butte.



> Well the news I do have is not good at the current time.   As of August 21,
> 2013 Salt Lake Express has stopped service from Great Falls to Butte.    I
> was visiting with the Independent Living Center in Great Falls and they had
> seen a Salt Lake Express bus going down Central Avenue last weekend.   I
> visited with a representative of Salt Lake Express and that bus was just
> hauling the baseball team from Idaho Falls.   So I asked if they were going
> to be coming back and serving that route any time soon.   The answer I got
> back was they were not making any money doing that run.     So my next
> person to visit with was Montana Department of Transportation Transit
> Section and see what they were trying to do to help reinstate the I-15
> corridor from Great Falls to Butte.   The supervisor stated that they told
> Salt Lake Express to submit a proposal and they would look at trying to
> figure out how to get them some funding to help offset costs.



> So like I said no good news but hopefully Salt Lake Express and Montana
> Department of Transportation Transit Section can figure out a way to make
> things work so the people that need the service can get the service.  I will
> keep you informed when I hear more information.


> Sorry again for the bad news.
