Dewa Sanzan discontinued bus line

Ifll be going to Dewa Sanzan later this month, I was just reading the Dewa Sanzan page of this site before my trip. Lucky I did because apparently theyfve just discontinued the bus line going between Yudono-san and Tsuruoka this April (now there are only buses on weekends between Yudono-san and Haguro-san).
I already have a reservation for shojin ryori at Haguro-san on a Tuesday and even asked the Tsuruoka Information Centre to help me call a mountain hut at Gassan so I could stay the night there, plus another reservation the day before for a maiko showc itfs impossible for me at this point to cancel everything and move my visit to a weekend!
I am slightly worried now about what to do. Because I will be sleeping in Yamagata after doing the Dewa Sanzan, I was thinking about getting a taxi, but itfs about 40km far and that would be too expensive for me. I hear there are buses between Tsuruoka and Yamagatac do any of them stop near-ish Yudono Shrine?
At this point I'm even considering walking down Gassan to Yudono Shrine and back up and down to the 8th station, taking the bus from Gassan once again to Tsuruoka. Of course, this seems highly impractical and maybe even too difficult given my physical strength.
Any ideas on what else to do? (Is it true the bus has been discontinued even during climbing season?)
Thank you for any help I can get!
