CapeFlyer schedule, new stop announced
Would be nice if they could upgrade from commuter equipment. Is this something where Iowa Pacific could be involved?
Would also be nice if it eventually gets expanded into daily service, at least during the summer months.
They need a daily commuter service between Boston and the Cape. I sure hope it will happen one day soon!
They need a good proof on concept with about 3 years of good summer loadings. The already expanded the summer season last year. If the loadings pick up enough then expand the service to summer weekdays and see if it stays constant. After that look to more year round srvice. Expanding it to quickly could kill it. That’s why the Greenbush line does not have weekend service as a cost saving measure.
As for Iowa Pacific, they originally wanted to use some of their coaches for this service. Iowa Pacific also owns the Cape Cod Central which shares the track with the CapeFLYER.
