        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Nashville to St. Thomas?",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in St. Thomas?",
        "answer": "Cyril E. King Airport on St. Thomas is located about three miles west of Charlotte Amalie, the main town. Taxis are the most common and widely used option, operating as shared vans that follow fixed routes at regulated rates, making them affordable and convenient for most visitors. Private taxis are also available at higher cost. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are not widely available on the island. Public buses called Vitran run along the main routes but are infrequent and less practical for travelers with luggage. Car rentals are available at the airport and are popular for visitors who want flexibility to explore the island, though note that driving is on the left side of the road despite U.S. territory status. Water taxis operate from the waterfront in Charlotte Amalie and are useful for reaching other islands or the East End. Most visitors rely on shared taxis for the airport-to-town trip."
