It’s worth noting that Musk quoted 30-60 minutes rocket trip time for any pair of source/destination in the world, so there is a lot of room for time wasted around the launch while still being way faster.
That said, they probably have to run hundreds of thousands or millions of non-crewed launches before they can demonstrate it’s safe enough for civilian use. Current tech must be in the range of 3-4 orders of magnitude more dangerous?
