Rail travel combines high-speed corridors and direct access to city railway stations, reducing total transfers compared with flights that require airport transfers and check-in. Long-distance buses serve direct but much longer door-to-door journeys and may be cheaper for some schedules. For many travelers between Shanghai and Puanxian, rail offers faster city-center to regional connections and more predictable station-level departures.

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