You wish to travel from downtown New York City (NYC) to downtown Washington DC (DC), a distance of 330 km. You consider two options: train and plane. The high-speed train takes 1.7 hr, plus 30 min in stations. The airplane flies the 330 km (airport to airport) in just 30 min, but the drive to the NYC airport takes 30 min, you must arrive three hours before departure time, the plane waits 15 min for takeoff, and it takes 55 min to get your luggage and drive into DC. Find the train's track speed, the plane's flying speed, the total travel time for each option, and the overall average speed for each option.
train track speed     km/h
plane flying speed     km/h
train travel time              h
plane travel time      h
train trip average speed     km/h
plane trip average speed     km/h
