It is operated by the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) in collaboration with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). The service runs on the weekends, beginning Friday evenings and including holidays, between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend. During 2013, its first season, the CapeFLYER carried a total of 16,586 passengers, with service extended from Labor Day to Columbus Day weekend due to its early success.〔 In October 2013, MassDOT announced the service would return in 2014 and in subsequent years, and would add a stop in Wareham, Massachusetts beginning in 2014.〔 Year-round weekend service over the route and full MBTA Commuter Rail service as far as Buzzards Bay are under consideration.〔〔 It is the first scheduled passenger train to Cape Cod since Amtrak's ''Cape Codder'' ceased operation in 1996, and the first direct service between South Station in Boston and Cape Cod since 1961. The Cape Cod & Hyannis Railroad operated scheduled service between Braintree station, south of Boston (the southern terminus of the MBTA's Red Line), and the Cape from 1984 until 1988, but did not extend that service to Boston proper. == Route == The ''CapeFLYER'' utilizes the MBTA Middleborough/Lakeville Line from Boston's South Station to Middleborough and continues to Hyannis via the Cape Main Line, a state-owned corridor used for freight (via the Massachusetts Coastal Railroad) and heritage service (via the Cape Cod Central Railroad). Scheduled travel time between Boston and Hyannis, a distance of 78 miles, is about 2 hours and 20 minutes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CapeFLYER 2015 Schedule )〕 The relatively slow running time is due to the track conditions between Buzzards Bay and Hyannis, which limits the speed of passenger trains on the Cape to 30 miles per hour.〔 Extensive track rehabilitation was completed in early 2013, resulting in faster operating speeds between Middleborough and Buzzards Bay. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CapeFlyer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
