        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Detroit?",
        "answer": "Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is about twenty miles from downtown Detroit. The SMART bus system offers limited public transit connections but is slow and infrequent, making it impractical for most travelers. The People Mover monorail operates only within downtown and does not reach the airport. Taxis are available at the terminal but can be expensive for the roughly thirty to forty minute drive downtown. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are widely available and are the most popular choice due to their convenience and competitive pricing compared to taxis. Car rentals are well represented at the airport and are highly practical given Detroit's car-centric layout and limited public transit network. Most visitors opt for ride-share or a rental car, with rental cars being especially common for travelers planning to explore the wider metro area."
