Rail travel on high-speed trains provides direct city-center connections, significantly reducing the total travel time compared to buses or flights. The distance is too short for commercial flights to be practical, and buses take over three hours depending on traffic. High-speed rail remains the most reliable and time-efficient option for this corridor.
