Rail travel on CRH and intercity services provides city-center to city-center connections and predictable station access compared with long-distance buses and flights. Buses require extended road travel and longer journey times; flights reduce airborne time but add airport transfers and check-in. For travel between Shanghai and Leshan, high-speed plus regional rail minimizes total transfer time and offers frequent timetable options.
