Rail services provide direct city-center to regional-station connections and predictable schedule windows compared with long-distance buses or flights. Buses run overnight or daytime routes with longer total travel times and lower fares; flights have shorter airborne time but require transfers to and from airports and additional check-in time. For many Shanghai to Taihe journeys, rail offers reliable access to central departure and arrival stations without airport transfers.

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