        "question": "Which airport will I arrive at and how do I get from Sprigg Payne to downtown Monrovia?",
        "answer": "Flights from the United States to Monrovia arrive at Roberts International Airport (ROB), located about 56 km (35 miles) from the city center. The airport has no train or metro link; ground transport relies on road vehicles such as shared taxis, private minibuses, and three-wheeled auto-rickshaws known locally as kekehs, with motorcycle taxis (pehn-pehns) available but restricted from some central Monrovia roads. The journey from Roberts International to downtown Monrovia typically takes around 1 to 1.5 hours depending on traffic. Spriggs Payne Airport, which is much closer to downtown, has not had scheduled commercial international service since 2014, so Roberts International is the main airport serving the destination on this route.",
