High-speed rail provides city-center to city-center connections with multiple daily departures, reducing door-to-door time compared with long-distance buses and many flights. Buses require extended travel times and overnight options for this distance; flights shorten airborne time but add airport transfers and check-in. For Shanghai to Qujing, high-speed rail balances travel time and station access for most travelers.
