All aboard: Boston to Cape Cod train debuts in May
After a 25-year absence, train service from Boston to Cape Cod is coming back this summer.
While thousands of summer tourists sit in miles of traffic, Massachusetts transportation officials are hoping the seasonal rail service will keep at least a few thousand moving along.
The CapeFLYER will run from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, and take about two hours and 15 minutes. It will leave from Boston’s South Station and Hyannis, where passengers can then connect with Cape Cod bus and ferry services. Fares are $20 one way or $35 round-trip.
The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority expects CapeFLYER to appeal to people put off by summer traffic, as well as to international visitors.
The train will follow the commuter rail route to Lakeville, making all the regular stops along the way, and then also stop at Buzzards Bays and Hyannis.
Each train will be big enough to hold 1,000 passengers, and offer bar and food service as well as places to hang bikes and free WiFi. Bikes and children under five will ride free.
The first train from Boston South Station to Hyannis is scheduled to depart at 5:12 p.m. on Friday, May 24, 2013.
