Whether you're moving back to or from campus at the beginning or end of a semester, or heading home during a holiday break, we're proud to team up with the University of Idaho to make sure U of I students always get the best deals Northwestern Stage Lines has to offer.
Northwestern Stage Lines/Salt Lake Express, is offering Vandal students a 20% discount on the published base fare. Parking and Transportation Services will then subsidize another 30% from the listed fare for students using the service, which the school will pay after you purchase. Students see just the 50% discount. Note that there are SMALL service fees (a $2.95 ticketing fee) and possibly, depending on the stop you choose, additional fees (for example, the only Boise stop is at the airport, which adds $1.75 to the ticket price). The 50% discount applies to the base fare for one adult.
You’ll have two options for bus stops:
Absolutely! Extra luggage is $10/piece. And remember, you can take a small carryon with you on the bus.
For fall move-in, arrive in Moscow between Aug. 1 through 31, 2025. For move-out at the end of the year, get the discount between May 2 through 19, 2026. REMEMBER- you MUST use the special code to get the discount!
You’ll be on a Northwestern Stage Lines/Salt Lake Express regularly scheduled bus route, so any member of the public can purchase a ticket.
On whatever date you choose- you are purchasing a ticket on a regularly scheduled bus route and you get to pick your own travel date. If you will live on campus, be sure to plan your arrival for a date that your housing will be available.
The 50% fare discount is available ONLY for U of I students. Someone else is welcome to ride with you, at regular cost, but the discounts from the vendor and from PTS are available solely for U of I students.
This offer is good ONLY for one-way tickets for U of I student travel booked with Northwestern Stage Lines/Salt Lake Express using a valid Vandal email address and the discount code. There is no discount available on bus fare purchased from other vendors, nor on any other type of travel.
We have many stops throughout Idaho, Utah, Washington and parts of Montana. We also have service from airports in Boise, Spokane, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. View our Bus Stops page for more details.
