        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Atlanta?",
        "answer": "Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is well connected to the city center. The MARTA Gold Line train runs directly from the airport to downtown and midtown stations in about twenty minutes, making it the fastest and most affordable option. Taxis are available curbside and typically take thirty to forty-five minutes depending on traffic, with fares around forty to fifty dollars. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are extremely popular and are arguably the most used option overall, offering convenient pickup from designated areas. Car rentals are available at the consolidated rental facility connected by the SkyTrain. Buses and hotel shuttles serve specific areas and budgets. Atlanta traffic can be severe during peak hours, so rail is strongly recommended when destinations are near a MARTA station."

        "question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Detroit to Atlanta?",
