        "question": "How do I get to Chhatrapati Shivaji Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Mumbai, the fastest and most popular way to reach Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is by app-based cab or metered taxi, with pick-up points at both terminals. For a budget-friendly option, the suburban railway connects to the airport via Vile Parle (for the domestic terminal) and Andheri (for the international terminal), while air-conditioned city buses also serve the terminals from key hubs. Ride-share services like Uber are readily available, and the new metro line stops at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, offering a quick alternative during peak traffic. Driving and parking are possible, but traffic can be heavy, so public transit or a cab is usually more convenient.",
