Bus from Urumqi to Turpan, is this better than by train? How much slower or less comfortable?

As I know, you can take a bus to Turpan from South Suburban Bus Station at No. 1, Yan'erwo Road, Tianshan District. The buses are available from 08:40 to 19:20, and it takes about 3 hours. The seat is soft.
However, you are advised to take a bullet train to Turpan North from Urumqi South Railwya Station. The trains are available from 9:24 to 20:10, and the trip takes about 1 hour. Both second class seats and first class seats are available for you. The second class seat costs CNY 49, and the first class seat costs CNY58.5.

Yes, you can make it within one day. The last bullet train returns at 20:46 by the way. Have a nice trip!

Dear Jacob Thank you so much for your guidance.
By the way what are the worthwhile places to visit in a day
without tiring too much? Thank s again.

For Turpan, the Karez System Museum, Flaming Mountain and Grape Valley are highly recommended. The three spots are enough for your day trip from 09:00 to 18:00. Have fun!

Thanks for your guidance Danny.
Cheers.
