        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Boston?",
        "answer": "Boston Logan International Airport is just three miles from downtown, making it one of the most accessible major US airports. The Silver Line SL1 bus is free outbound from the airport and connects to South Station and the broader MBTA subway network in about twenty minutes, making it the most popular and cost-effective option. The Blue Line subway is accessible via a free shuttle bus to Airport Station and reaches downtown in roughly fifteen minutes. Taxis are plentiful and take ten to twenty minutes but cost significantly more. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are widely used and competitively priced, though surge pricing during peak hours can make them expensive. A water taxi operates seasonally to downtown and the Seaport District and offers a scenic and quick alternative. Car rentals are available on-site but driving into Boston is complicated by heavy traffic and expensive parking. Most visitors use the Silver Line or ride-share services."
