        "question": "How do I get to Alor Setar from the city center?",
        "answer": "From Alor Setar city centre, the most practical way to reach Sultan Abdul Halim Airport is by taxi or ride-share, which takes about 10–15 minutes; the airport is roughly 15 km (9.3 mi) from downtown. There is no dedicated airport shuttle bus, but the nearby Anak Bukit railway station is 5–8 minutes away by taxi and connects to Alor Setar and other towns in Kedah and Perlis, so you could combine a short taxi ride with a train. Driving and parking are also possible via the Sultan Abdul Halim Highway (Federal Route 1), though taxis are generally the most popular and convenient option for the short trip.",
