        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Diego?",
        "answer": "San Diego International Airport sits just three miles from downtown, making ground transportation quick and straightforward. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are the most widely used option, typically reaching downtown in ten to fifteen minutes at a reasonable cost. Taxis are available curbside but tend to cost more than ride-share. The Metropolitan Transit System Route 992 bus connects the airport to downtown Santa Fe Depot in about fifteen minutes for a very low fare, making it the best budget option. The San Diego Trolley does not serve the airport directly, though it connects from Santa Fe Depot to wider destinations. Car rentals are available via a shuttle to the consolidated rental facility and suit travelers planning to explore beyond the city, as a car is very useful in San Diego generally. Most visitors choose ride-share for its convenience and competitive pricing."
