More problems on the DEN <> SLC <> BOI <> PDX bus route. When the Pioneer was discontinued in 1997 there were three through Greyhound Lines trips on this route. By the time that FlixBus took over, it was down to one trip. Various combinations were tried. Recently, as I reported here, it was split into three runs, with Flix taking PDX <>BOI and BOI <> SLC. GL kept S:C <> DEN.
Now, Flix has dropped the BOI <> SLC run. Salt Lake Express is running in that time slot, but not using the same "stations" and so the Greyhound/Flix reservation system is routing DEN <> PDX passengers via Los Angeles. And charging a fare for the extra mileage.
DEN > PDX departing Sunday, October 27th:
GL/Flix = $240 = 46 hours via Los Angeles and Sacramento.
Amtrak = $233 = 56 hours via Sacramento.
