Rail travel on CRH and conventional trains links central stations and reduces transfer time compared with flights that require airport transfers. Long-distance buses serve direct regional routes but involve longer on-road durations and fewer departure times. Flights can be faster in the air but add check-in and transfer time; for many Shanghai to Dingyuan itineraries, rail is the most direct city-center to city-center option.
