The CapeFlyer train appears to be a hit with riders.According to a Boston Globe report, nearly 9,000 passengers have taken the new train since service began between Boston and Hyannis on Memorial Day weekend.
Revenue from ticket sales has covered the $165,000 annual operation cost and service may be extended until Columbus Day, according to the report.
Part of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, the double-decker train travels between Boston and Hyannis once a day each way on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for $35 round trip. Woods Hole-bound passengers can connect via a bust at Buzzards Bay.
Demand over the Fourth of July holiday led to extra trips July 3 and 4.
