Is slow travel a contributing factor to the decline of PvP?

I feel like one of the contributing factors to less frequent PvP is how SLOW it is to move around with JDs. I don't know about most people, but when I enter the coords for a friendly HB that's under attack and see "4000km" on a server where JDs carry me around 80km, it doesn't really make me want to go when the attacker will probably get bored and leave or get chased off by the friendly before I even get halfway there.
