Rail travel provides a mid-range solution between slow buses and expensive flights. High-speed trains run directly from city centers, avoiding the long check-in processes and airport transfers required for flights. While buses are the cheapest option, they take considerably longer. The high-speed train offers the most balanced approach for speed and cost on this route.
