        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Fort Lauderdale?",
        "answer": "Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is about three miles from downtown Fort Lauderdale. The Broward County Transit bus routes 1 and 40 connect the airport to the city, though service is infrequent and slow. The Tri-Rail commuter train connects to Miami and West Palm Beach from a nearby station, reached by a free shuttle from the airport. Taxis are readily available outside the terminal and take about ten minutes to downtown. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are extremely popular, typically costing less than taxis and offering convenient pickup from designated areas. Car rentals are widely available and practical given South Florida's car-dependent layout. Most travelers use ride-share services for their convenience and competitive pricing, though renting a car is common for those exploring the broader region."
