You don't have to wait 2 hours extra hours at air ports v. high speed rail. Not accounting for travel to the airport v travel to the train station, it's probably only like 30-45 minutes. You have to get to the airport 60 minutes before a domestic flight, but you have to get to amtrak 15 minutes before a trip. Amtraks have a lot more fan fare than getting on a metro. They don't run that often and they sometimes fill up. It's much more like getting on a plane than a subway. The time might get a little longer if you include time to get to the airport v. time to get to the station, but it's variable based on where particular people live.
