Buzzards Bay is an intermediate stop on the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority's CapeFLYER summer weekend passenger service.

Originally located near the tracks, the station building is now set back from the train line because of the removal of excess trackage.

The station also houses year-round offices and a seasonal visitor's center for the Cape Cod Canal Region Chamber of Commerce.

In the summer, Buzzards Bay serves as a station of departure for excursion trains running to West Barnstable,[7] select dinner trains running along the length of the Canal,[8] and a special excursion in mid-September to celebrate Cape Cod Canal Day, which includes a stop at the Pairpoint Glass facility in Sagamore.

[citation needed] In 2007, the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization released a report evaluating the possibility of commuter rail service to Buzzards Bay including several intermediate stops.

[14] The Buzzards Bay town selectmen similarly supported the idea later that year, and a public forum was held in January 2014.

[17] A Local Impact Report released in April 2015 proposed an 800 foot (240 m) high-level platform and two parking alternatives: a 120-space modification of the existing lot, and a 400-to-600-space structure including a realignment of Academy Drive.

[17] Bourne voted to join the MBTA district in 2015 and began paying an assessment in mid 2016 (for FY 2017), although there was no guarantee that commuter rail service would be provided in the fiscally constrained environment.

[23][24] Upon completion of the study in spring 2021, two different alternatives for service were presented, one of which would terminate at Buzzards Bay and the other of which would continue to Bourne station.
