        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Seattle?",
        "answer": "Seattle-Tacoma International Airport connects to downtown Seattle via the Link Light Rail, which runs frequently and reaches Westlake Station in central Seattle in about forty minutes at a low fare, making it the most popular and practical option. Taxis are available outside the baggage claim area but are more expensive and subject to highway traffic. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are widely used and offer a convenient alternative to taxis, though surge pricing during peak hours can make them costly. Shared shuttle services operate between the airport and major hotels downtown. Car rentals are available on-site and suit travelers heading beyond Seattle, though downtown parking is expensive. The Link Light Rail is the most commonly used option due to its reliability, frequency, and affordability."
