New York to Cape Cod by Train & Bus

Several Amtrak trains depart New York's Pennsylvania Station in late morning and the afternoon, and reach Providence RI in time for you to transfer to one of the two daily buses from Providence to Hyannis MA on Cape Cod.

The fastest and most comfortable trip from New York City to Hyannis, Cape Cod is by Amtrak's Acela Express departing Penn Station at noontime, arriving in Providence about 3 pm.

The bus bound for Hyannis departs Providence's Kennedy Plaza Intermodal Transportation Center (that is, the city-center bus stops) at 3:15 pm, goes to the Providence Peter Pan Bus terminal north of the city by 3:30, then departs for Hyannis at 3:45 pm.

You can walk from Providence Station to Kennedy Plaza in about 10 minutes. If you miss the bus there, you can take a taxi to the Peter Pan Bus terminal north of the city (I-95 Exit 25) to board the 3:45 pm Peter Pan bus to Hyannis.

Train fare on the Acela Express from New York City to Providence is around $100 one-way; bus fare from Providence to Hyannis is around $25 one-way, for a total New York-to-Hyannis cost of about $125. Round-trip fares are slightly less than twice as much as one-way fares.

You can save money on the train fare by taking the Amtrak Regional train at 11 am instead of the Acela Express. The Regional is scheduled to arrive at Providence Station at 2:27 pm, giving you a better chance to catch the 3:15 bus departure from Kennedy Plaza, thus saving you the possible expense of taxi fare to the Peter Pan bus terminal north of the city.

Be sure to check the Amtrak website to confirm train times and fares, and to make reservations (required for the Acela Express trains). To confirm Peter Pan Bus times and fares, call Peter Pan toll-free at 1-800-343-9999.

From the Hyannis Transportation Center, buses can take you to Cape Cod's other towns. (More on Cape Cod local buses...)
