For me it isn't so much "have to get there now" as "skip the boring bit in between". Like when I was working in London and getting the train in or back in the dark (I can't safely read on trains for that long; longer than in a car but I still have motion sickness after a while even on smoother trains). It would also apply to plane flights (when I'm a passenger, rather than at the controls), they are just boring and uncomfortable and most of the time with nothing to see. Whereas taking a train through some places is too fast for me, I want to savour it and get off and investigate interesting buildings and walk through the landscape.
