        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Bengaluru?",
        "answer": "Ground transportation from Kempegowda International Airport to central Bengaluru relies heavily on taxis and app-based ride-hailing services like Uber and Ola, which are the most-used options for travelers despite heavy traffic congestion. BMTC operates a dedicated airport bus service called Vayu Vajra, offering air-conditioned buses to major city hubs at a lower cost, with a fleet of over 7,000 buses citywide. Auto rickshaws are available but are generally less practical for the roughly 35–40 km journey to the city center. Car rentals are present at the airport, though private vehicles already account for about 80% of all trips in the city, contributing to the average commuter losing around 117 hours a year to delays. The Namma Metro does not yet directly serve the airport, so the fastest door-to-door option remains a pre-booked taxi or ride-share, though it is also the most expensive.",

Air France offers the most frequent one-stop options with up to four daily connections through Paris, while Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, Etihad, and KLM each operate around two daily connections through their respective hubs. Qatar Airways and Etihad also offer itineraries with a second leg on IndiGo and Akasa Air respectively.",

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. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.",

Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft are allowed for pickups, and taxis and limousines are also available. Driving is straightforward via I-75/85, with several on-airport parking decks and off-airport providers that often include shuttle service. The MARTA train is usually the fastest and most affordable option, while taxis and ride-share offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost.",
