Taking the high-speed train is the most balanced option for this route. Trains depart frequently from city-center stations, avoiding the long check-in times associated with flights. While buses are available at lower prices, they take significantly longer due to highway traffic. The train offers more legroom and consistent schedules compared to air travel between these two regional hubs.
