Summer has ended and so has the CapeFlyer's third annual service run. After its last run of the season on Labor Day, the CapeFlyer will once again hibernate until its next summer season.

The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority and the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority partner to run the round trip passenger train between South Station in Boston, and Hyannis. The train ran all weekend, every weekend, for 15 weeks during the summer.

Transit authority Administrator Thomas Cahir has been overseeing the CapeFlyer since its inception in 2013. He said it was so popular that MassDOT invested $36 million into making it a permanent seasonal service.

“I knew a lot of the right people. I brought up how it was something that people wanted, so we made it happen,” said Cahir.

Cahir said 2014 saw a dip in ridership with 12,600 passengers, down from 15,000 in 2013, and $221,000 in revenue, a drop from $293,000. However, ridership increased for the 2015 season. Cahir said the numbers will be finalized later this week.

Of these riders, between 500 and 600 were from Wareham. Wareham was not initially one of the Flyer's stops, but, after locals expressed a desire for a stop in town, one was created at the Wareham Train Station.

One of this year's biggest changes was Friday service direct to the Cape. In previous years, the Friday train would be shared by Boston commuters, so many of the Cape stops were delayed says Cahir.

Passengers are vocal about their love of the CapeFlyer. With over 5,000 social media followers, fans frequently share photos of their travels and reviews of the Flyer's service. Now that the Flyer has run its last trip of the summer, several people have taken to Twitter to express their desire for a local commuter rail that runs year-round.

“Big fan of the CapeFlyer the crew is amazing we need the train year around or up till Columbus weekend,” said Twitter user Bernadette Cleary.

Inspired by the CapeFlyer's convenience and accessibility, the town of Bourne has been working to implement their own daily commuter rail that Cahir said he hopes will be operational by next year.
