        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Miami?",
        "answer": "Miami International Airport sits about eight miles from downtown Miami. The Miami Metrorail Orange Line connects the airport directly to downtown and Brickell in about fifteen minutes, making it the fastest and most affordable public transit option. The free MIA Mover shuttle links the terminals to the Metrorail station. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are extremely popular and offer door-to-door convenience in roughly twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic. Taxis are readily available but more expensive than ride-shares. Car rentals are a strong choice given Miami's sprawling layout and limited transit coverage beyond downtown, and MIA has one of the busiest rental car facilities in the country. Buses are available but slow and impractical for most visitors. Ride-share services are the most commonly used option among arriving travelers due to their convenience and competitive pricing."
