The Cape Flyer will begin rolling this Memorial Day weekend providing rail service from Boston to Cape Cod for the summer.

“There’s been a demand for it, but it also makes sense as traffic problems are well known when it comes to traveling to the Cape,” said MBTA spokeswoman Kelly Smith.

“It’s limited service,” Smith added of the Cape Flyer which will make its initial run from South Station to Hyannis on May 24 with stops at Lakeville and Buzzards Bay.

On Saturdays and Sundays, the first train will depart at 8 a.m. with return trips from Hyannis at 6:30 p.m.

“There’s no question tourism will be enhanced,” said Thomas Cahir, administrator of The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority, which will operate the seasonal service in cooperation with the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, MassDot and the MBTA through Labor Day.

Tickets are priced at $35 for a round trip.

The weekend service will consist of six trains which will operate on a commuter rail line towards Middleboro which extends down into Hyannis. Because the service utilizes current equipment, authorities believe funding the rail will at the least “break even” if not producing more profit, but it will also promote an environmentally friends and economic alternate to travel to the Cape, said Smith.
