        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Seattle?",
        "answer": "Seattle-Tacoma International Airport connects to downtown Seattle via several options. The Link Light Rail is the most popular choice, running directly from the airport to downtown in about forty minutes for a low flat fare, with trains departing every ten to fifteen minutes.

Car rentals are available on-site and suit travelers planning to explore the wider Pacific Northwest region, though downtown parking is expensive. Express buses also operate between the airport and various city neighborhoods. Most travelers use the Link Light Rail for its reliability, low cost, and immunity to highway congestion."
