The good news is that the CapeFlyer connects Cape Cod to Boston, so those wanting to escape to or from the Cape can do so for $20 one way or $35 round trip.
Train service begins at 5:12pm on Fridays from Boston's South Station, with stops in Middleborough, Buzzards Bay and Hyannis. It also operates on Saturdays and Sundays beginning at 8am in Boston, adding Braintree to its route.
Travel time is a little more than 2 hours and 15 minutes. Take along a deck of cards or a good book and some cheese and crackers – it's better than cursing the traffic. And, for those of you who travel with your computer, the train has free WiFi.
