        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Los Angeles?",
        "answer": "Ground transportation from LAX to downtown Los Angeles includes the LAX FlyAway nonstop bus to Union Station, which runs every 15 minutes and costs $9.75 one-way, making it a fast and affordable option. Taxis, Lyft, Uber, and other ride-shares are available from the LAX-it area, and rental cars are offered by companies like Hertz and Go Rentals. The Metro Rail system connects via the LAX/Metro Transit Center with free shuttle service from terminals, though it requires a transfer and is less direct than the FlyAway. The FlyAway bus is the most-used transit option for downtown, while ride-shares are extremely popular for door-to-door convenience.",

Turkish Airlines also offers connections via Istanbul, and other carriers like LOT Polish via Warsaw, SWISS via Zurich, ITA Airways via Rome, Delta via Paris, and United via London appear with less frequency. Specific median fares are not available for this route.",
        "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.",

      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Cairo Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Cairo International Airport is about 15 km northeast of the city center, and the fastest way is usually a taxi or ride-share like Uber, which is the most popular option. Public buses and the Cairo Airport Shuttle Bus run from various points in Cairo, including a shuttle from Adly Mansour metro station, though no metro line reaches the airport directly. Driving yourself is possible with parking at the terminals, but traffic can be heavy. Taxis and ride-shares are generally more expensive than the bus, but much quicker and more convenient.",
