High-speed rail provides direct city-center access, avoiding the long commutes to outlying airports required for flights. While planes are faster in the air, the total travel time is often comparable when including security and transfers. Buses are available but take significantly longer, often requiring over 12 hours. The train offers more space and the ability to remain connected throughout the journey.

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