We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Canberra?",
        "answer": "Canberra Airport (CBR) is about eight kilometers from the city center. There is no direct train service. The most convenient option is a taxi or ride-share, which takes around fifteen minutes and costs approximately twenty-five to thirty-five Australian dollars. This is the most used and practical choice due to limited public transit. A limited bus service, Transport Canberra route 3, connects the airport to the city center but runs infrequently. Car rentals are available from major providers at the airport for those planning regional travel. There is no dedicated airport shuttle service, but some hotels offer private transfers. For visitors, taxis and ride-shares are recommended for their speed and convenience."
