        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Boston?",
        "answer": "Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) sits just two miles from downtown, making it one of the closest major US airports to a city center. The Silver Line SL1 bus is free from the airport and connects to South Station and the broader MBTA subway network in about fifteen to twenty minutes, making it the most popular and cost-effective option. The Blue Line subway is accessible via a free shuttle bus from terminals and reaches downtown in under fifteen minutes. Water taxis run seasonally to the waterfront and offer a scenic and surprisingly quick alternative. Taxis and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are widely used and take fifteen to thirty minutes depending on traffic, which can be significant during peak hours. Car rentals are available on-site but driving in Boston is notoriously congested and parking is expensive. Most visitors use ride-share services or the Silver Line for convenience and cost."
