The high-speed train provides a middle ground between the affordability of a bus and the speed of a flight. While a flight takes about 2.5 hours, the train eliminates airport security wait times and lands you directly in the city center. Buses on this route take over 20 hours and are less frequent, making the high-speed rail the most balanced choice for price and travel time.

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