        "question": "How do I get to Thurgood Marshall Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Baltimore, the MTA Light Rail provides direct service to BWI Marshall Airport, with trains running frequently and costing about $2 each way; it stops just outside the terminal. Free courtesy shuttles also connect the terminal to the Amtrak/MARC rail station, and Amtrak or MARC trains from Baltimore's Penn Station offer a fast option for reaching the airport. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft pick up and drop off on the departures level, while taxis are available at the arrivals level and cannot charge flat rates. Driving yourself is straightforward with on-airport parking lots and garages, but the Light Rail is often the most popular and economical choice for solo travelers.",
