      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Chhatrapati Shivaji Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is well connected to downtown Mumbai by public transit, ride‑share, and taxis. The fastest and most popular option is app‑based cabs like Uber and Ola, which pick up from designated zones at both terminals; metered taxis and car rentals are also available. For budget‑conscious travelers, the Mumbai Suburban Railway links the airport via Vile Parle and Andheri stations, while the newer Mumbai Metro serves Terminals 1 and 2 directly. Luxury air‑conditioned BEST buses run express services from key hubs, though driving yourself means navigating heavy traffic and paying for parking in the multi‑level car parks.",
