        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Orlando to San Juan?",
        "answer": "Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so travel between Orlando and San Juan is domestic for U.S. citizens and permanent residents, with no passport or visa required.

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Juan?",
        "answer": "Luis Munoz Marin International Airport sits about seven miles east of downtown San Juan. Taxis are the most commonly used option and operate on fixed government-regulated fares by zone, making them predictable and reliable for tourists. Ride-share services including Uber are available and often cheaper than taxis, though availability can vary. The Tren Urbano metro system does not directly serve the airport, so transit options are limited. Public buses run by AMA connect the airport to parts of the city but are slow and infrequent. Car rentals are widely available at the airport and are popular given Puerto Rico's limited public transit network, especially for travelers planning to explore beyond San Juan. For most visitors heading to the hotel zones of Condado or Isla Verde, taxis and ride-share services are the most practical choices."
