        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Tel Aviv?",
        "answer": "Ben Gurion Airport serves Tel Aviv and is located about twenty kilometers southeast of the city center. The fastest and most popular option is the train, with direct services to Tel Aviv's main stations taking around fifteen to twenty minutes and running frequently throughout the day, though not on Shabbat from Friday evening to Saturday night. Taxis are widely available and take thirty to forty-five minutes depending on traffic, but fares should be metered to avoid overcharging. Ride-share apps like Gett operate at the airport and offer a reliable alternative to taxis. Sherut shared taxis run fixed routes into the city at lower fares and operate even on Shabbat. Public buses are inexpensive but do not run on Shabbat. Car rentals are available at the terminal and suit travelers planning to explore beyond Tel Aviv. Most visitors use the train on weekdays for its speed and low cost, while sheruts are the preferred option during Shabbat hours."
