Logically, the risks for such long tiring reuots are higther, when compared to trains. The new high-speed train is now safer, faster and relatively cheaper between cities in China. The smaller bus coaches are more risky especially on the highways.I used to travel between Shanghai-Suzhou-Wuxi-Nanjing by small coaches by the HuNing Highway. It takes at least 3.5 - 4 hours direct from the old Hongqiao airport to NJ. Now even with the shift to Pudong, and you need to get to the SH railway station first in about an hour even with traffic jam, the train ride to NJ just take slightly longer than 2 hours and is very comfortable.
