Editing Wellfleet, Massachusetts (section)

==Transportation==
[[U.S. Route 6 in Massachusetts|U.S. Route 6]] passes from north to south through the town. The town's commercial center lies west of the route, along the shores of the harbor. The route was straightened in the mid-20th century, and some maps still consider the "old" Route 6 to be a portion of [[Route 6A (Massachusetts)|Route 6A]]. The town has no rail or air service. The last train left the area in the 1930s, the train station was razed and the tracks were torn up through Provincetown. The old rail line was turned into a bicycle trail, named the Cod Rail Trail, which ends in South Wellfleet. The nearest municipal airports are in [[Chatham, Massachusetts|Chatham]] and Provincetown, both about {{convert|18|mi}} from town; the nearest national and international service can be found at [[Logan International Airport]] in Boston.

There is currently limited bus service between Wellfleet and [[Hyannis, Massachusetts|Hyannis]], and from there on to Boston and Logan Airport, on the Plymouth & Brockton Street Railway Company, a [[Plymouth, Massachusetts|Plymouth]]-based bus service. The [[Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority|CCRTA]], which runs between Hyannis and Provincetown, also makes stops in Wellfleet.
