Rail travel on high-speed G and D trains provides city-center to city-center connections with predictable train times and fewer transfers than flights. Buses offer lower fares but substantially longer journey times and fewer departures. Flights have shorter airborne time but require transfers to and from airports and additional check-in time; for many travelers the high-speed rail option balances total door-to-door time and frequency of departures.
