Cape Cod's Boston Train Makes Weekend Trips A Breeze

HYANNIS, MA — Returning for its tenth summer of service, the CapeFLYER train will offer roundtrip weekend and holiday service from Boston to Hyannis starting May 27.

The train will leave Boston's South Station a little later on Friday evenings this year, giving Boston workers time to catch the train for a weekend getaway. Assuming the train has no delays on the way down, passengers arriving in Hyannis should even be able to catch the last boat to Nantucket.

The CapeFLYER is meant to give Cape Cod visitors a "traffic-free alternative," according to Abdellah Chajai, the General Manager and CEO of Keolis, an MBTA partner. “By taking the train, passengers can enjoy the scenery along the way and make the most of their summer weekends on Cape Cod.”

The crowd-favorite bicycle car is also back aboard this year. With racks to hold almost 50 bikes and a complimentary tool kit for passengers to use, bringing your bike is a no-brainer.

A roundtrip ticket from Boston to Hyannis costs $40, and kids 11 and under ride free. Same-day roundtrip Sunday tickets cost only $20, making day trips easier than ever.

The CapeFLYER's summer season kicks off on Friday, May 27, just in time for Memorial Day. Tickets for active-duty service members or veterans are free Sunday, May 29.
