        "question": "Are there visa requirements to travel from Mexico City to Toronto?",
        "answer": "Yes, visa requirements depend on citizenship. Mexican citizens traveling to Canada need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) for flights, not a visa, for short visits. Canadian citizens traveling to Mexico do not need a visa for tourism stays up to 180 days. For other nationalities, check Canadian and Mexican entry rules based on your passport."

      "q3": {
        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Toronto?",
        "answer": "Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) offers several ground transportation options to downtown Toronto. The Union Pearson Express (UP Express) train is the fastest, reaching Union Station in about 25 minutes with frequent departures every 15 minutes. Public transit buses, including TTC routes 900 Airport Express and 52A Lawrence West, provide affordable connections to the subway system. Taxis and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft offer door-to-door convenience, while car rentals are available for those preferring to drive. The UP Express is the most-used option for its speed and direct link to the city center.",

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.

Billy Bishop Airport is on an island just off downtown, mainly handling regional flights via Porter Airlines and Air Canada Express, ideal for quick access to the city centre."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Benito Juárez Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The Metrobús Line 4 is a popular and affordable option, running from the city center directly to both terminals every day from early morning until midnight, with payment by smart card. Official airport taxis and app-based ride‑share services are available 24/7 at designated ranks, offering a faster but pricier door‑to‑door trip in about 20–40 minutes depending on traffic. Driving yourself is possible but parking fills up quickly and is expensive, so it’s rarely the best choice unless you need a car at the other end.",
