        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Austin?",
        "answer": "Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is about eight miles from downtown Austin. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are by far the most popular option, offering convenient door-to-door service in roughly fifteen to twenty-five minutes depending on traffic. Taxis are available curbside but are used less frequently. Capital Metro bus Route 20 connects the airport to downtown and the University of Texas area at low cost, though it is slower and less direct. Car rentals are widely available and practical given Austin's car-dependent layout and limited public transit coverage across the metro area. There is no direct rail link between the airport and downtown. Most visitors rely on ride-share for its convenience and competitive pricing, while longer-stay travelers often opt for rental cars to navigate the city and surrounding areas."
