        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Detroit to San Juan?",
        "answer": "Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so travel between Detroit and San Juan is domestic for U.S. citizens and permanent residents and requires no visa or passport. Non-U.S. nationals traveling this route should carry valid immigration documents since standard U.S. entry requirements apply, as Puerto Rico falls under U.S. customs and immigration jurisdiction."

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "San Juan's Luis Munoz Marin International Airport is about eight miles from the city center. Taxis operate from a fixed-rate zone system, making fares predictable, with rides to most central hotels costing around twenty to twenty-five dollars. Ride-share services including Uber are available and often slightly cheaper than taxis. The Tren Urbano metro system has a station nearby at Cunha, though it requires a short shuttle or taxi connection and is less convenient for travelers with luggage. Public buses run but are slow and infrequent. Car rentals are widely available and popular given Puerto Rico's limited public transit outside San Juan. Most visitors use taxis or ride-share services for their convenience and reasonable cost, while car rentals are favored by those exploring the island beyond the city."
