 If you travel by rail, especially by overnight sleeper trains departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, you can save one-night accommodation fee and the day time. It is suitable to budget travelers. High speed trains have been the choice of most people which take less time and has a moderate cost.

As an alternative, passengers can also travel by flight. It takes about an hour for this journey, but there are only about 5 direct flights per day and flight ticket costs more than rail ticket. Weather change can easily lead to flight delays, which may cause a waste of time.
