High-speed rail is the primary choice for this route, offering city-center access and shorter total travel times than air travel when factoring in airport transfers. Buses take significantly longer due to highway traffic and distance. The train provides a stable environment with more legroom and consistent schedules compared to other transport modes.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
