High-speed rail is the preferred choice for this route as it connects city centers directly, avoiding long airport transfers. While flights are faster once in the air, total travel time is comparable when including check-in. Buses are available but involve much longer journey times on highways. The train offers more space and the ability to use electronic devices throughout the trip.

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