Bus
Using Google Transit, plan your bus trip online from door to door, traveling with the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority and Plymouth & Brockton Bus. In Boston, find out how the MBTA will connect you. Go to the Cape Cod RTA and click on Google Trip Planner.

Ride Cape Cod RTA’s free Hyannis Area Trolley from June 28-Labor Day. It connects Main Street restaurants and shops with the Hy-Line and Steamship Authority ferry docks in Hyannis and the Hyannis Transportation Center. The trolley runs seven days a week from 11 am to 9 pm. Flag it down anywhere along the route.

Bus riders can look forward to 45 new shelters that will be installed at Cape Cod RTA stops throughout Cape Cod. The buildings, with inside lighting, are designed with Cape Cod architecture in mind: red cedar roofs, gray siding and white trim.
