        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Orlando?",
        "answer": "Orlando International Airport is about fifteen miles from downtown Orlando and offers several ground transportation options. The Brightline intercity train now connects MCO directly to downtown Orlando and Miami, making it a fast and comfortable rail option. The LYNX bus system serves the airport but is slow and requires transfers, making it less practical for most travelers. Taxis are available outside the terminal but tend to be expensive. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are widely used, convenient, and generally cost less than taxis, taking around twenty to thirty minutes to reach downtown or the theme park areas. Car rentals are extremely popular at MCO given Orlando's sprawling layout and the prevalence of theme park visits requiring flexible transportation. The dedicated rental car facility is connected to the terminal by automated people mover. Most visitors rent a car because public transit is limited and attractions are spread across a wide area."
