High-speed rail offers city-center to city-center travel with frequent departures and predictable journey times compared with long-distance buses and flights. Buses require longer road travel and make multiple stops; flights have shorter airborne time but add transfer and check-in time to reach city centers. For most door-to-door journeys between Shanghai and Hengyang, high-speed rail provides a better balance of total travel time and city access.
