        "question": "How do I get to William P Hobby Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Houston, the fastest and most popular way to reach William P. Hobby Airport is usually a taxi or ride-share, which takes roughly 15-20 minutes without traffic and costs more than public transit. METRO Bus 500 offers a nonstop public bus from the George R. Brown Convention Center area to HOU for $4.50 one way, running every 30 minutes daily from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.; the slower METRO Bus 40 also connects downtown to the airport. Shared shuttle vans and hotel courtesy shuttles provide a middle-cost option, while driving yourself is possible with on-airport parking that can be booked in advance for discounts.",
