        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Jacksonville to San Juan?",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "Luis Munoz Marin International Airport sits about eight miles east of downtown San Juan. Taxis are the most commonly used option, with fixed government-regulated fares to major hotel zones like Condado and Old San Juan, making them reliable and straightforward for visitors. Ride-share services including Uber operate at the airport and offer competitive pricing. The Tren Urbano metro system does not directly serve the airport, limiting mass transit options. Public buses run by AMA connect the airport to the city but are slow and infrequent, making them impractical for most travelers with luggage. Car rentals are widely available at the airport and are popular for exploring the wider island. For most travelers arriving in San Juan, taxis or ride-share services offer the best balance of convenience and cost."
