High-speed rail on G trains provides city-center to city-center connections and predictable journey times compared with long-distance buses or flights. Buses are typically slower and run overnight or daytime services with longer total travel time; flights have shorter airborne time but require airport transfers and check-in. For most door-to-door itineraries between Shanghai and Putian, high-speed rail is the faster rail option with direct station access.

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