        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Detroit?",
        "answer": "Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) is about twenty-five miles from downtown Detroit. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are the most popular and convenient option, taking roughly thirty to forty minutes depending on traffic. Taxis are available outside the terminals but tend to be more expensive. The SMART bus system connects the airport to the city, but service is infrequent and the journey is long, making it impractical for most travelers. Car rentals are widely available at the airport and are a practical choice given Detroit's car-centric layout and limited public transit. There is no direct rail link between the airport and downtown. Most travelers opt for ride-share services or rental cars, as public transit options are limited compared to other major American cities."
