TRANSPORTATION
Although Boston's Logan Airport and T.F Green Airport, Providence, RI are similar driving distances to the Cape Codder, we recommend flying into Logan if you will be taking a bus.  The Plymouth & Brockton Street Railway Company (P&B Bus Co.) offers approximately 22 buses a day to the Hyannis Transportation Center, which is located approximately 1.5 miles from the Cape Codder.

Visit the P&B Bus Co. web site at www.p-b.com for schedule, fares and airport bus stop locations.  Download a credit card order form here.  At this time, a roundtrip bus ticket from Logan to Hyannis is $45.  If you do not buy your ticket in advance, you may purchase a ticket on the bus, but only cash is accepted. 

You may want to rent a car and bring the family to Cape Cod or perhaps you are in a nearby city.  If so, here are driving instructions from several locations.
