        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Cartagena?",
        "answer": "Ground transportation from Cartagena's Rafael Núñez International Airport to the city center is dominated by taxis, which are the most-used option for visitors and offer the fastest door-to-door transfer, typically taking under 15 minutes to the old town or Bocagrande. Ride-share services like Uber are present but less reliable and often require meeting drivers outside the terminal due to local regulations. The Transcaribe bus rapid transit system provides an economical mass transit option via its dedicated lane along Avenida Pedro de Heredia, though it requires a walk or short taxi to the nearest station and is slower. Car rentals are available at the airport but are generally unnecessary given the compact size of the city and scarce parking in the historic center.",

Avianca operates the most daily connections, with roughly 18 flights, while Copa runs about 10 and American around 7.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). 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.",

        "question": "How do I get to Washington Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "The most popular and often fastest way to reach Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) from downtown Washington, DC is the Metro's Silver Line, which connects directly to the terminal via an indoor pedestrian tunnel with moving sidewalks. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, as well as taxis, offer door-to-door convenience and are generally more expensive but may be quicker depending on traffic. Driving is also common, with on-site parking garages available at the airport, though costs are higher than public transit. Shuttle buses serve the airport as well, providing a middle-ground option in cost and convenience.",
