Rail travel provides direct city-center connections, avoiding the long wait times associated with airport security and transfers. While flights may have shorter airborne times, the total travel time often exceeds the 4-hour train journey when including check-in. Buses are available but take significantly longer, often exceeding 8 hours. High-speed rail remains the most balanced option for speed, price, and frequency.
