Rail travel combines city-center to city-center access with frequent scheduled departures, reducing transfer time compared with flights and long-distance buses. Buses provide lower fares but significantly longer door-to-door travel time; flights shorten airborne time but add airport transfers and check-in. For many Shanghai to Jianou itineraries, rail offers the most reliable midpoint between speed and direct access to local stations.
