Hyannis-bound? Ditch the Traffic, Take the Train! ️
Let's face it, driving to Cape Cod can be a drag. Between the hordes of tourists, the ever-present existential dread of "did I pack enough sunscreen?", and the guy in the beat-up minivan who seems really invested in tailgating you, it's enough to make you reconsider that beach vacation.
But fear not, weary traveler! There's a much more civilized way to get your Cape Cod fix: by train! Forget the road rage, ditch the car fumes, and settle in for a relaxing ride with the Cape Flyer. Think of it as a boozy brunch on wheels, minus the mimosas (although, a thermos full of coffee is highly encouraged).
Tip: Read at your natural pace.

| How To Get To Hyannis From Boston By Train |
All Aboard the Cape Flyer!
The Cape Flyer is your chariot to summertime bliss. It whisks you away from Boston's South Station (conveniently located near all the best places to grab a last-minute lobster roll) and deposits you right in the heart of Hyannis, ready to conquer the Cape. Bonus points: no battling beach traffic for a parking spot!
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.
The train itself is a delightful throwback. Think comfy seats, big picture windows perfect for people-watching (because, let's be honest, half the fun of Cape Cod is scoping out the interesting characters), and maybe even a friendly chat with your neighbor about the best places to find fried clams.
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.
Pro tip: snag a seat on the right side of the train for some pretty epic water views as you cross the Buzzards Bay bridge.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.

But Wait, There's More! (Because Nobody Likes a One-Trick Pony)
The Cape Flyer isn't just about the ride (although, let's be real, the ride is pretty darn good). Here are some other reasons to ditch the car and hop on the train:
- Leave the Driving to Us: Let's face it, you're on vacation! Relax, unwind, and maybe even crack open a book (gasp, a novel concept in today's world).
- Eco-Friendly Fun: Feel good knowing you're doing your part for the environment. No gas guzzling here, just pure, unadulterated train magic.
- Workcation Warriors: Ugh, gotta work while you're away? The Cape Flyer offers free Wi-Fi, so you can knock out those emails while enjoying the scenery. Just be sure to mute yourself before that important conference call when you see a particularly majestic seagull.
Still not convinced? That's okay! We understand some folks are creatures of habit (or maybe just haven't discovered the joy of train travel yet). But trust us, ditching the car for the Cape Flyer is a decision you won't regret (unless you forget your swimsuit, in which case, all bets are off).
