Rail travel on G-series trains provides much faster connections compared to buses and higher reliability than domestic flights. While flying takes around 1 hour 15 minutes, airport security and transfers make it slower than the train. Buses offer lower prices but take significantly longer. High-speed rail remains the preferred choice for this distance due to city-center station locations.

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