High-speed rail offers city-center to city-center travel, avoiding the lengthy check-in times associated with flights. While a flight takes about 3.5 hours in the air, total travel time including airport transfers often equals the train. Buses are significantly slower due to the 2,200 km distance and are rarely used for the full journey. The train provides more legroom and consistent mobile connectivity compared to other modes.

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