        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from London to Accra?",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Accra?",
        "answer": "Kotoka International Airport sits close to central Accra, about eight kilometers from the main business district. There is no rail or metro connection, so road transport is the only option. Taxis are widely available outside the terminal and are the most commonly used option, though fares should be negotiated in advance or confirmed before departure. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Bolt operate in Accra and are popular for their fixed pricing and convenience, making them a reliable alternative to street taxis. Shared minibuses called trotros are the cheapest option but are crowded, irregular, and not recommended for airport transfers with luggage. Car rentals are available at the airport and suit travelers needing flexibility for longer stays. Private hotel transfers are a comfortable premium option worth arranging in advance. Most visitors use Uber or Bolt for their predictable pricing and ease of use."
