At that speed planes are better only for very, very long distances. Trains also are electric which is a plus. You can get to the station 2 min before it leave

You can get to the station 2 min before it leaves and jump in.
- dmos62 5y agoIn China for inter-city trains you have security checks and you wait in front of a gate. Experience is identical to an airport.
- Symbiote 5y agoIn China, you need to show your passport/identity card to buy the ticket, since free movement is restricted in this way. Therefore, they have to check when you board the train. In Europe, Japan and Taiwan etc, it's a good idea to be there a few minutes before (especially if you're not familiar with the station), but it's always less time than required for getting on a plane.
- Darmody 5y agoChina is special in that regard. They need to check your social credit to see if you're allowed to travel or not.
