        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Amritsar?",
        "answer": "Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport in Amritsar is about eleven kilometers northwest of the city center. There is no direct mass transit link, so taxis and auto-rickshaws are the primary ground transportation options. Prepaid taxi booths inside the terminal offer fixed fares to major landmarks like the Golden Temple, taking roughly twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic. Ride-share services like Uber and Ola operate locally and are widely used for their convenience and transparent pricing. Auto-rickshaws are cheaper but less comfortable and require fare negotiation. Car rentals are available but uncommon for city travel due to dense traffic and parking constraints. Taxis and ride-shares are the most used and reliable options for visitors heading to the city center."
