        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "Luis Munoz Marin International Airport sits about eight miles east of downtown San Juan. Taxis are widely available and charge fixed zone-based fares to most tourist areas, making them predictable and reliable. Ride-share services such as Uber operate on the island and are often slightly cheaper than taxis. The Tren Urbano metro system does not serve the airport directly, though it connects several urban neighborhoods once you reach a station. Public buses are inexpensive but slow, infrequent, and not well suited for travelers with luggage. Car rentals are plentiful at the airport and are a popular choice given Puerto Rico's limited public transit coverage beyond the metro area. Most visitors either take a taxi or rent a car, with taxis being the most commonly used option for the airport to hotel journey."
