        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "Luis Munoz Marin International Airport sits about seven miles east of downtown San Juan. Taxis are the most commonly used option, with fixed government-regulated fares to major tourist zones including Condado and Old San Juan, making them predictable and reliable. Ride-share services like Uber operate in San Juan and are often slightly cheaper than taxis. The Tren Urbano metro system does not serve the airport directly, limiting mass transit options. Public buses run infrequently and are considered inconvenient for travelers with luggage. Car rentals are widely available at the airport and are popular for exploring the broader island, though parking in Old San Juan can be challenging. For most visitors heading to hotel districts, taxis and ride-share services offer the best balance of convenience and cost."
