      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Miami?",
        "answer": "Miami International Airport sits about eight miles from downtown Miami. The Miami Metrorail Orange Line connects the airport directly to downtown and Brickell in about fifteen minutes and is the most affordable option. The free MIA Mover shuttle links terminals to the Metrorail station. Taxis and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are widely available and take twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic, making them the most commonly used option for convenience and door-to-door service. Buses operated by Miami-Dade Transit serve the area but are slower and less practical with luggage. Car rentals are plentiful at the airport and practical given Miami's sprawling layout, especially if you plan to travel beyond the downtown core. For South Beach specifically, ride-share or taxi remains the most practical choice as Metrorail does not reach that area directly."
