        "answer": "From O'Hare, the CTA Blue Line 'L' train is the fastest and most-used way to reach downtown Chicago, with a station right in the airport and a ride of about 45 minutes. Taxis, limos, and rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are readily available and offer door-to-door convenience, though they are pricier and subject to traffic. Several regional buses and airport shuttles also serve the airport, and rental cars are an option for travelers who prefer to drive themselves. Overall, the Blue Line is the go-to for most visitors given its speed and low cost.",

We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.",

The new Mumbai Metro Line 3 connects directly to both terminals via the CSMIA Airport T2 and T1 stations, providing a quick, traffic-free ride. Budget-friendly suburban trains stop at Vile Parle (for domestic) and Andheri (for international), with connecting auto-rickshaws to the terminals. BEST buses and luxury AC coaches also serve the airport, while driving and paid parking are possible but generally slower due to congestion.",
