The CapeFLYER announces First Class Car and $10 Round Trip for June

HYANNIS, MA – The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority celebrates its 11th Season of the CapeFLYER which was launched in 2013.  The CapeFLYER has been an answer to heavy traffic congestion on summer weekends getting to Cape Cod from Boston. 

The CapeFLYER’s no-traffic worries train service offers a relaxing and comfortable ride with all the comforts you would expect onboard a passenger train.  Free Wi-Fi, wheelchair accessibility and you can even bring your pet or your bike at no charge. Reservations are never required as there are always plenty of seats available.

This year the CapeFLYER makes traveling to the Cape even better with the announcement of their first-class car. The first-class car features large leather reclining seats with footrests and tray tables and ticket price includes complimentary drink. The first-class car, along with the existing CapeFLYER Café Car, offer light fare and cocktails, and are serviced by Blonde on the Run Catering, ensuring quality refreshments throughout the journey.

Last year, for their anniversary, the CapeFLYER’s offering riders $10 fares on round-trip transportation on any day in June. The Anniversary Sale-a-Bration was such a big hit that the CapeFLYER is continuing the Sale-A-Bration again this year with $10 fares this June.

The CapeFLYER has six stops in between South Station and Hyannis; Braintree, Brockton, Middleborough/Lakeville, Wareham Village, Buzzards Bay and Bourne.  The CapeFLYER allows folks to daytrip and spend the day at the beach or shopping along Main Street and convenient shuttle coordination between the ferries for a trip to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket.

“We are very excited to be entering our 11th season of offering visitors and locals transportation to the Cape and Islands without encountering traffic. It’s wonderful to put the Cape’s 3rd bridge – the Canal Railroad bridge – into use to relieve the congestion summer weekends have on our infrastructure. We have worked closely with the regions ferry operators to provide convenient connections to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard,” said CCRTA Administrator Thomas Cahir.  “We are excited to be adding the First-Class car and to continue to offer our loyal passengers this $10 round-trip fare as a thank you to all of their years of ridership.”

The CapeFLYER will continue to offer their Super Summer Sunday Same Day Savings and 50% off for Seniors with ID or persons with Disabilities (See www.capeflyer.com for details). The CapeFLYER is a service provided by the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority in conjunction with the MBTA and Keolis.
