High-speed rail provides direct city-center to city-center travel with fewer transfers and regular departures. Buses offer lower fares but significantly longer travel times and fewer onboard amenities; flights shorten airborne time but add airport transfers and check-in intervals. For many travelers between Shanghai and Guiyang, high-speed trains balance travel time and direct access to central stations.
