If you don't operate it near populated areas then that negates the faster transport. People don't pay a lot of money to fly to the middle of nowhere, they pay a lot of money to go between populated areas. If Starship has to land 200km from its destination city, then you need to plan for several hours of onward travel.

It doesn’t negate the faster transport because it’s 18x faster. That leaves time to take a short flight on both sides.
