        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Atlanta?",

Car rentals are available at the consolidated rental facility accessible by shuttle, making them practical for travelers heading beyond the metro area. Hotel shuttles serve many properties near the airport. MARTA is by far the most used option among budget-conscious travelers and commuters, offering reliable and frequent service without traffic concerns."
