[Harry Potter] How Much Better or Worse are Wizarding Transportation Methods Compared to Muggle Transportation Methods?

So in the Wizarding World there are plenty of magical transportation methods. Apparation, brooms, floo powder, a train, flying cars, a super-speed bus, portkeys, etc. 

Meanwhile, Muggles have cars, boats, planes, and rockets. 

Which ones are better for travel? It seems obvious that for short distance apparating is the best, but what about intercontinental trips? Floo powder only works with fireplaces, portkeys seem great but they seem to only work with handheld objects and go along with them for the trip, so it's limited to only a certain number of people. Do planes turn out to be better?

And what about space travel? A top-tier wizard can apparate across continents, so he could go to the International Space Station, right? What about further out? Would it always be better to keep sending rockets to new destinations or could wizards work out something better if they decided to cooperate with Muggles?

Wizards can get just about anywhere faster and don't require entire industries to be built upon them doing so. 

There are *legal* restrictions to making portkeys, but anybody *can* make them. And though apparating *huge* distances is difficult and ill-advised, you can just make a series of jumps. Far faster than a car, likely comparable to a plane for a skilled apparator, and again, doesn't require a multi-hundred-billion dollar global industry to make it happen. You just decide where you want to go and start going. 

For space travel, you probably need a rocket. If for no other reason than that you need something to keep your air in.
