High-speed rail offers a city-center to city-center connection, avoiding the long airport transfers required for flights. While a flight takes about 3.5 hours, total travel time including check-in and security is often comparable to the train. Buses are significantly slower, requiring over 24 hours of travel time. The train provides more legroom and the ability to move around freely during the journey.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
