They are at the mercy of BNSF on this one. When this was first implemented, an end date of Feb 2 was floated. That has obviously come and gone. I think we'll see a rolling end date until one day it simply returns to its regular route with no advance warning. If it makes you feel any better, I had in-laws who were bustituted GFK-MOT last week to catch 7 in MOT and they reported that the bus ride was uneventful and uncomplicated. The bus will be as late or as on-time as the train is when it gets to FAR.
