      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Abu Dhabi Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Abu Dhabi, the most popular way to reach Zayed International Airport is by public bus, with dedicated A-series routes (like A1) running frequently and affordably. Taxis and ride‑share services offer a faster, door‑to‑door alternative at a higher cost, while driving yourself means using the airport’s long‑term parking facilities. The bus is the cheapest option, while a taxi or ride‑share is the quickest and most convenient.",
