High-speed rail is the preferred choice for this route as it connects city centers directly. While flying is an option, airport procedures make total travel time longer than the train. Buses are available but take significantly longer due to highway traffic. The train offers frequent departures and a more predictable schedule.

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