        "answer": "Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) is about 9 km north of Ahmedabad’s city center. Prepaid taxis and app-based ride services like Uber and Ola are the most convenient and widely used options, taking around 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and destination. Auto-rickshaws are cheaper but less comfortable and slower. The Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS) runs limited bus routes from the airport; they are inexpensive but infrequent and not ideal with luggage. The nearest bus rapid transit (BRT) station is a short auto-rickshaw ride away. Car rentals are available at the airport but are less common for city travel due to traffic and parking challenges. Most travelers opt for prepaid taxis or ride-share services for a reliable, air-conditioned transfer to the city center."
