Austin-Bergstrom es un aeropuerto de una sola terminal. La Terminal Barbara Jordan opera todas las aerolíneas comerciales principales (Southwest, American, Delta, United, Alaska, JetBlue, Frontier, Spirit, además de vuelos internacionales de British Airways, Air Canada, Lufthansa, KLM y Volaris). Tu conductor se detiene en la acera del nivel superior de salidas, justo afuera de la fila de check-in de tu aerolínea. Desde la acera hasta el puesto de control de TSA más cercano suele ser una caminata de 5 a 10 minutos, incluyendo la parada en el mostrador de boletos.

La nueva Sala B (puertas B1 - B9) recibe tráfico adicional de aviones de fuselaje angosto y algunos vuelos internacionales, y se llega a ella mediante un shuttle interno desde la terminal principal — tu conductor te deja de todas formas en la misma acera del nivel superior sin importar la puerta, así que no necesitas saber con anticipación a qué sala vas. Para equipaje sobredimensionado, bicicletas, palos de golf, bolsas de esquí o instrumentos, avísanos al reservar y enviaremos un vehículo con el espacio de carga adecuado.

Para llegadas a AUS, indícanos tu número de vuelo de entrada al reservar el regreso. Monitoreamos la hora real de aterrizaje y te esperamos en la zona de recogida de Ground Transportation en el nivel inferior — no en la acera de rideshare ni en el estacionamiento. El encuentro en la acera mantiene el viaje de puerta a puerta de regreso a The Woodlands sin contratiempos, incluso en llegadas nocturnas.

Versus driving and parking at AUS — Austin-Bergstrom's economy lots accumulate day by day and have been at or near capacity during ACL, SXSW, F1 weekend, and the Thanksgiving / Christmas peaks. For any trip of three days or more, the parking total plus two full tanks of fuel across the ~320-mile round trip often exceeds a round-trip shuttle, before you factor in wear-and-tear and the safety cost of driving home tired after a late landing.

The user wants us to translate an HTML page (landing page for an airport shuttle) from English to natural native Latin American Spanish for travelers. Keep all HTML tags exactly as-is, keep city/airport names and codes unchanged, keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged. Return ONLY the translated HTML. We need to translate text content inside HTML, preserving tags and attributes. The HTML contains paragraphs with English text: "Versus Uber or Lyft from The Woodlands to AUS — Rideshare is technically available, but a 160-mile trip is at the far edge of driver willingness, and you are exposed to surge pricing, last-minute driver cancellations at the curb, and a one-shot acceptance: if your driver bails 30 minutes before pickup, you are stranded with a flight to catch. Our shuttles are pre-assigned and dispatched, with a real human dispatcher on call 24/7 and a backup vehicle plan if anything happens to your primary driver." "If you are still weighing options, the online quote tool shows your exact door-to-door price in under 60 seconds — no account, no credit card, no commitment. You can then compare apples-to-apples against parking at AUS and a rideshare quote for your specific trip date." Then headings and paragraphs: "Do I need to schedule my pickup in advance?" etc. We must produce natural Latin American Spanish (i.e., generic Spanish from Latin America, not Castilian). The translation should be natural for travelers, presumably includes polite forms (usted), but can also use "tú". Keep the tone friendly and professional. Keep all HTML tags exactly. Keep city/airport names unchanged: "The Woodlands", "AUS". Phone number unchanged: (817) 403-6196. Keep URLs unchanged: "https://texasshuttle.ridebitsapp.com/central/new_reservation". Keep "online quote tool" maybe we translate to "herramienta de cotización en línea". "pre-assigned" maybe "preasignado". "dispatched" maybe "despachado". "real human dispatcher" maybe "un dispatch humano real". "backup vehicle plan" maybe "plan de respaldo de vehículo". "peak travel periods" maybe "períodos pico de viaje". "holidays" maybe "festivos". "online or by calling us" maybe "en línea o llamando". "as many suitcases and carry-ons as you need" maybe "tantas maletas y equipajes de mano como necesites". "Our vehicles are equipped to accommodate a variety of luggage, making it easy to travel light or heavy without any hassle." maybe "Nuestros vehículos están equipados para manejar una variedad de equipaje, facilitando viajar ligero o pesado sin complicaciones." We need to preserve HTML tags:

, ,

, . Keep attributes exactly. Keep spaces and line breaks. So we need to produce an HTML snippet with the same tags, only replacing English text with Spanish translations. We need to ensure that the translation is natural for Latin American Spanish, i.e., avoid using "ustedes" in a formal context, but could be used. Use "tú" for a friendly tone, but "usted" could be used. However, we can keep "usted" because it's more respectful for travelers. The phrase "Do I need to schedule my pickup in advance?" maybe "Necesito programar mi recogida con anticipación?" or "¿Debo programar mi recogida con anticipación?" The heading "Do I need to schedule my pickup in advance?" could be "¿Necesito programar mi recogida con anticipación?" The answer: "Sí, recomendamos programar su recogida con anticipación. Esto garantiza un servicio fluido y puntual, especialmente durante períodos pico de viaje o días festivos. Puede reservar su viaje fácilmente en línea o llamando al (817) 403-6196." Keep phone number unchanged. Now for the paragraph about Uber/Lyft: we need to translate that. Paragraph:

Versus Uber or Lyft from The Woodlands to AUS — Rideshare is technically available, but a 160-mile trip is at the far edge of driver willingness, and you are exposed to surge pricing, last-minute driver cancellations at the curb, and a one-shot acceptance: if your driver bails 30 minutes before pickup, you are stranded with a flight to catch. Our shuttles are pre-assigned and dispatched, with a real human dispatcher on call 24/7 and a backup vehicle plan if anything happens to your primary driver.

We need to translate to Spanish: "Versus Uber or Lyft desde The Woodlands hasta AUS — Los servicios de rideshare están técnicamente disponibles, pero un viaje de 160 millas está en el límite de la disposición de los conductores, y estás expuesto a precios dinámicos (surge pricing), cancelaciones de último momento en la acera y una única oportunidad: si tu conductor se echa atrás 30 minutos antes de la recogida, te quedas varado con un vuelo que abordar. Nuestros shuttles están preasignados y despachados, con un dispatch humano real disponible 24/7 y un plan de respaldo de vehículo en caso de que algo le ocurra a tu conductor principal." But maybe "surge pricing" could be left as "precios de sobrecarga" or "precios dinámicos". We could translate "surge pricing" as "precios en pico" but keep "surge pricing" maybe as is. The user didn't request to preserve English phrase. We can translate. Keep "surge pricing" as "precios de sobrecarga" but we might keep "surge pricing" to preserve meaning. But it's okay to translate. It's a marketing page, they might want to keep "surge pricing". The user says keep city/airport names unchanged, keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged. They didn't mention preserving English phrase like "surge pricing". But it's okay to translate. Now second paragraph:

If you are still weighing options, the online quote tool shows your exact door-to-door price in under 60 seconds — no account, no credit card, no commitment. You can then compare apples-to-apples against parking at AUS and a rideshare quote for your specific trip date.

Translate: "Si aún estás evaluando opciones, la herramienta de cotización en línea muestra tu precio exacto de puerta a puerta en menos de 60 segundos — sin cuenta, sin tarjeta de crédito, sin compromiso. Luego puedes comparar de manera equitativa con el estacionamiento en AUS y una cotización de rideshare para tu fecha específica de viaje." We need to keep the link exactly: online quote tool. In Spanish we can change the link text to "herramienta de cotización en línea". The link must remain same. Now next heading:

Do I need to schedule my pickup in advance?

translate:

¿Necesito programar mi recogida con anticipación?

Paragraph:

Yes, we strongly recommend scheduling your pickup ahead of time. This ensures a seamless and punctual service, especially during peak travel periods or holidays. You can easily book your ride online or by calling us at (817) 403-6196.

translate:

Sí, recomendamos fortemente programar tu recogida con anticipación. Esto garantiza un servicio fluido y puntual, especialmente durante períodos pico de viaje o días festivos. Puedes reservar tu viaje fácilmente en línea o llamando al (817) 403-6196.

How many bags can I bring with me?

translate:

¿Cuántas bolsas puedo llevar conmigo?

Paragraph:

You are welcome to bring as many suitcases and carry-ons as you need for your trip. Our vehicles are equipped to accommodate a variety of luggage, making it easy to travel light or heavy without any hassle.

translate:

Puedes traer todas las maletas y equipajes de mano que necesites para tu viaje. Nuestros vehículos están equipados para manejar una variedad de equipaje, facilitando viajar ligero o pesado sin complicaciones.

Now we need to ensure HTML tags are intact. We need to ensure we keep line breaks. The input is a single block with tags and some line breaks. The user wants the output as the translated HTML with tags unchanged. Thus final output should be:

Versus Uber o Lyft desde The Woodlands hasta AUS — Los servicios de rideshare están técnicamente disponibles, pero un viaje de 160 millas está en el límite de la disposición de los conductores, y estás expuesto a precios dinámicos, cancelaciones de último momento en la acera y una única oportunidad: si tu conductor se echa atrás 30 minutos antes de la recogida, te quedas varado con un vuelo que abordar.

Hobby Airport (HOU), Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), The Woodlands to Austin via I-45, Hempstead, Brenham, Giddings. We need to keep those unchanged. We must keep the HTML tags exactly as-is: So we cannot change any tag names or attributes. We'll only replace text between tags. We must ensure we preserve line breaks?

Driving Directions: The Woodlands to Austin via I-45

The most common way to travel this route is by car. The drive takes approximately 3 hours and 5 minutes under normal traffic conditions, making it a feasible day trip or weekend excursion.

Primary Route: I-45 to Highway 290

From The Woodlands, drivers typically head south on Interstate 45 toward Houston. After passing through downtown Houston, the route transitions to Highway 290 West toward Austin. This highway connects directly to the Austin metro area, passing through towns like Hempstead, Brenham, and Giddings along the way.

We'll translate each phrase. Need natural Latin American Spanish, not Spain. List items: 1. Driving yourself – Using Interstate 45 North to Highway 290 West "Driving yourself" => "Conducir tú mismo" maybe "Manejar tú mismo" but Latin America uses "conducir" widely, also "manejo propio"? But "Driving yourself" as heading: could be "Conducir por cuenta propia" or "Manejar tú mismo". I think "Conducir tú mismo" is natural. Then the dash and rest: "Using Interstate 45 North to Highway 290 West" => "Usando la Interestatal 45 Norte hacia la Autopista 290 Oeste". But we need keep "Interstate 45" and "Highway 290". Should we translate "North" and "West"? Probably keep as "Norte" and "Oeste" in Spanish. The instruction says keep city/airport names and codes unchanged; doesn't say keep directional words unchanged. So we can translate them. Use natural Latin American Spanish: "Usando la Interestatal 45 Norte hacia la Carretera 290 Oeste". However "Highway" is often translated as "carretera" or "autopista". In US context, "Highway 290" is a state highway; could be "Carretera 290". I'd use "Carretera 290 Oeste". Or "Autopista 290 Oeste". In many Latin American countries they use "ruta" or "carretera". I think "Carretera 290 Oeste" is fine. Thus: Conducir tú mismo – Usando la Interestatal 45 Norte hacia la Carretera 290 Oeste 2. Riding with a friend or rideshare – Carpooling through popular ride-sharing platforms "Riding with a friend or rideshare" => "Viajar con un amigo o mediante rideshare" maybe "Compartir viaje con un amigo o mediante servicio de rideshare". "Riding with a friend or rideshare" as heading: maybe "Viajar con un amigo o usando rideshare". Keep "rideshare" as is? It's an English term but could be kept. But likely they'd translate to "uso de servicios de viajes compartidos". However to keep natural, we can say "Viajar con un amigo o mediante servicio de rideshare". Keep the dash and rest: "Carpooling through popular ride-sharing platforms" => "Compartir viaje a través de plataformas populares de rideshare". So final: Viajar con un amigo o mediante servicio de rideshare – Compartir viaje a través de plataformas populares de rideshare But we have duplication of rideshare; maybe better: "Viajar con un amigo o usando rideshare" – "Compartir viaje a través de plataformas populares de rideshare". That's okay. 3. Taking a Greyhound bus – Budget-friendly intercity coach service "Taking a Greyhound bus" => "Tomar un autobús Greyhound". Keep Greyhound unchanged. So: Tomar un autobús Greyhound – Servicio de autobús interurbano económico "Budget-friendly intercity coach service" => "Servicio de autobús interurbano económico". Could be "Servicio de autobús interurbano de bajo costo". I'll use "Servicio de autobús interurbano económico". 4. Booking a FlixBus – Modern green bus service with amenities "Booking a FlixBus" => "Reservar un FlixBus". Keep FlixBus unchanged. So: Reservar un FlixBus – Servicio de autobús moderno y ecológico con comodidades "Modern green bus service with amenities" => "Servicio de autobús moderno y ecológico con comodidades". Could be "Servicio de autobús moderno y respetuoso del medio ambiente con comodidades". I'll use "Servicio de autobús moderno y ecológico con comodidades". 5. Flying from William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) – The fastest option for air travelers "Flying from William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS)" => "Volando desde el Aeropuerto William P. Hobby (HOU) hasta el Aeropuerto Internacional Austin-Bergstrom (AUS)". Keep airport names and codes unchanged. So: Volando desde el Aeropuerto William P. Hobby (HOU) hasta el Aeropuerto Internacional Austin-Bergstrom (AUS) – La opción más rápida para los viajeros aéreos "The fastest option for air travelers" => "La opción más rápida para los viajeros aéreos". Could be "La opción más rápida para los viajeros en avión". I'll use "La opción más rápida para los viajeros aéreos". 6. Taking a combination of transit – Using local shuttles to reach bus stations or airports "Taking a combination of transit" => "Usar una combinación de transporte". Could be "Tomar una combinación de transporte". I'll use "Usar una combinación de transporte". So: Usar una combinación de transporte – Utilizar traslados locales para llegar a estaciones de autobús o aeropuertos "Using local shuttles to reach bus stations or airports" => "Utilizar traslados locales para llegar a estaciones de autobús o aeropuertos". Could be "Utilizar traslados locales para llegar a estaciones de autobús o aeropuertos". Good. Now h2:

Driving Directions: The Woodlands to Austin via I-45

Translate: "Driving Directions: The Woodlands to Austin via I-45" => "Indicaciones para conducir: The Woodlands a Austin vía I-45". Keep city names and I-45 unchanged. Use "Indicaciones para conducir". Could also be "Indicaciones de manejo". In Latin America, "Indicaciones para llegar" or "Indicaciones de manejo". I'll use "Indicaciones para conducir: The Woodlands a Austin vía I-45". Keep colon. Now p:

The most common

Para quienes prefieren una ruta más directa, hay un camino alternativo que toma la Carretera Estatal 105 conectando con la Carretera 336 antes de empalmar con las autopistas principales hacia Austin. Esta ruta te lleva por Conroe y ofrece un paseo panorámico por el este de Texas antes de incorporarte al corredor principal.

Puntos de referencia clave en el camino

En el trayecto desde The Woodlands hacia Austin, pasarás por varios pueblos y lugares de interés que vale la pena conocer:

• Conroe – La primera ciudad importante al sur de The Woodlands, conocida por el lago Conroe y sus comunidades residenciales en crecimiento

• Brenham – Hogar de Blue Bell Creameries y del Museo del Patrimonio de Brenham
• Washington-on-the-Brazos – Sitio histórico donde Texas declaró su independencia de México en 1836

El punto medio: Burton, Texas

Para los viajeros que quieran hacer una parada a mitad de camino, Burton, Texas es el pueblo más cercano al punto medio geográfico entre The Woodlands y Austin. Ubicada a 83 millas de The Woodlands y 77 millas de Austin, Burton ofrece un merecido descanso del camino.

We need to translate English to natural Latin American Spanish, preserving HTML tags, city/airport names, codes, phone numbers, URLs unchanged. The provided text:

It takes approximately 1 hour 36 minutes to reach Burton from The Woodlands and about 1 hour 27 minutes from Austin, making it a convenient rest stop for both eastbound and westbound travelers. The town features small-town Texas character with local diners and gas stations for refreshments.

Cost Breakdown: Gas, Time, and Environmental Impact

Understanding the true cost of driving helps travelers budget appropriately for their journey. Based on current average fuel prices and vehicle efficiency estimates, here's what you can expect.

Gas Cost Estimate

For the 80-mile one-way trip, the estimated gas cost is approximately $22.38 using an average USA gas price of $3.48 per gallon. This estimate assumes a typical passenger vehicle getting around 25 miles per gallon. Round-trip costs would naturally be double this amount, making budgeting straightforward for planning purposes.

Keep in mind that actual fuel costs vary based on current pump prices, which fluctuate seasonally and regionally. Gas prices in The Woodlands and along the I-45 corridor tend to run slightly below the national average, while Austin prices can be comparable or slightly higher.

Carbon Footprint and Environmental Considerations

We need translate everything except HTML tags and numbers, units, etc. Keep city/airport names: Burton, The Woodlands, Austin, I-45. Also "USA gas price" maybe keep "USA" unchanged? Likely keep as is. "per gallon" translate? It is part of a phrase inside strong tag? Actually the strong tag is "$3.48 per gallon". The number and unit might be considered part of the text, but the instruction: "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged." It doesn't say to keep units unchanged, but we should translate natural Spanish. However "per gallon" could be translated as "por galón". The number $3.48 stays same. Should we keep "USA"? Probably keep as is, but could translate to "EE. UU." but they said keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Not about USA. Safer to keep "USA" as is because it's not a city/airport. But maybe translate to "EE. UU."? Not required. I'd keep "USA" as is to be safe. However the phrase "average USA gas price" could be translated as "precio promedio de gasolina en EE. UU." but that changes the phrase. The instruction: translate to natural Latin American Spanish. Likely we should translate the sentence, but keep numbers and proper nouns unchanged. So "USA" could be considered a proper noun (country code). Might keep unchanged. I'll keep "USA". Also "I-45 corridor" keep "I-45". "The Woodlands" keep. "Burton" keep. "Austin" keep. Now translate. First sentence: "It takes approximately 1 hour 36 minutes to reach Burton from The Woodlands and about 1 hour 27 minutes from Austin, making it a convenient rest stop for both eastbound and westbound travelers. The town features small-town Texas character with local diners and gas stations for refreshments." Spanish: "Tarda aproximadamente 1 hora 36 minutos llegar a Burton desde The Woodlands y aproximadamente 1 hora 27 minutos desde Austin, lo que lo convierte en una parada conveniente tanto para viajeros hacia el este como hacia el oeste. El pueblo tiene el carácter de un pueblo pequeño de Texas con comedores locales y estaciones de servicio para refrescarse." Make natural Latin American Spanish. Use "tarda aproximadamente". Could also "Se tarda aproximadamente". I'd use "Tarda aproximadamente". Good. Second paragraph: "

Cost Breakdown: Gas, Time, and Environmental Impact

" Keep h2 tag; translate inside: "Desglose de costos: Gasolina, tiempo e impacto ambiental". Keep colon? The original has colon after Cost Breakdown. We'll translate: "

". Ensure tags unchanged. Third paragraph: "

Understanding the true cost of driving helps travelers budget appropriately for their journey. Based on current average fuel prices and vehicle efficiency estimates, here's what you can expect.

Gas Cost Estimate

Estimación del costo de gasolina

" Keep h3. Paragraph: "

For the 80-mile one-way trip, the estimated gas cost is approximately $22.38 using an average USA gas price of $3.48 per gallon. This estimate assumes a typical passenger vehicle getting around 25 miles per gallon. Round-trip costs would naturally be double this amount, making budgeting straightforward for planning purposes.

" Translate: Need to keep numbers and units? Keep numbers as is. Translate text. "Para el viaje de ida de 80 millas, el costo estimado de gasolina es aproximadamente $22.38 usando un precio promedio de gasolina en EE. UU. de $3.48 por galón. Esta estimación asume un vehículo de pasajeros típico que rinde alrededor de 25 millas por galón. Los costos de ida y vuelta naturalmente serían el doble de esta cantidad, lo que facilita el presupuesto para planificar." But we must keep "USA" unchanged? I used EE. UU., which changes. Might be safer to keep "USA". So "precio promedio de gasolina en USA de". However "USA" is not a city/airport, but still a proper noun. I'd keep "USA". So: "precio promedio de gasolina en USA de". Also "per gallon" translate to "por galón". Keep $3.48 same. Also "miles per gallon" translate to "millas por galón". Keep number 25. Thus: "

Para el viaje de ida de 80 millas, el costo estimado de gasolina es aproximadamente $22.38 usando un precio promedio de gasolina en USA de $3.48 por galón. Esta estimación asume un vehículo de pasajeros típico que rinde alrededor de 25 millas por galón. Los costos de ida y vuelta naturalmente serían el doble de esta cantidad, lo que facilita el presupuesto para planificar.

Keep in mind that actual fuel costs vary based on current pump prices, which fluctuate seasonally and regionally. Gas prices in The Woodlands and along the I-45 corridor tend to run slightly below the national average, while Austin prices can be comparable or slightly higher.

Tenga en cuenta que los costos reales de combustible varían según los precios actuales en las bombas, que fluctúan estacional y regionalmente. Los precios de la gasolina en The Woodlands y a lo largo del corredor I-45 tienden a estar ligeramente por debajo del promedio nacional, mientras que los precios en Austin pueden ser comparables o ligeramente superiores.

" Check: Keep I-45 unchanged. Good. Finally: "

Estimación del costo de gasolina

Para el viaje de ida de 80 Thinking Process: 1. **Analyze the Request:** * Translate the provided HTML snippet from English to *natural, native Latin American Spanish for travelers* (specifically tailored for travelers, likely Mexican/South American Spanish but standard neutral Latin American Spanish is best). * Keep *ALL HTML tags exactly as-is* (e.g., `

`, ``, `

`, ``, ``, ``, ``, `

`, `

`). * Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged (e.g., "William P. Hobby Airport", "Austin-Bergstrom International Airport", "HOU to AUS", "Texas"). * Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged (none present in the snippet, but good to keep in mind). * Return *ONLY* the translated HTML. 2. **Analyze the Source Text (English):** * ` For environmentally conscious travelers, understanding your carbon footprint helps inform transportation decisions. The average car traveling this route will release approximately 125.96 pounds of CO₂ into the atmosphere per trip. This equates to about 0.79 pounds of CO₂ per mile traveled. ` * ` For those seeking greener alternatives, bus travel significantly reduces per-person emissions, while electric vehicle owners can further minimize their environmental impact by using public charging stations now available along major Texas highways. ` * ` Time Investment by Mode Check Rates ` * ` ... (headers: Transportation Mode, Approximate Travel Time, Cost Range, Carbon Footprint; rows: Driving (personal vehicle), FlixBus, Greyhound, Flight (HOU to AUS)) ... ` * ` Flying: William P. Hobby Airport to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport ` 3. **Translate Segment by Segment (Latin American Spanish, traveler-focused):** * *Paragraph 1:* * English: "For environmentally conscious travelers, understanding your carbon footprint helps inform transportation decisions. The average car traveling this route will release approximately 125.96 pounds of CO₂ into the atmosphere per trip. This equates to about 0.79 pounds of CO₂ per mile traveled." * Spanish: "Para viajeros conscientes del medio ambiente, comprender tu huella de carbono ayuda a tomar decisiones de transporte informadas. El automóvil promedio en esta ruta liberará aproximadamente 125.96 libras de CO₂ a la atmósfera por viaje. Esto equivale a aproximadamente 0.79 libras de CO₂ por milla recorrida." * Let's refine for natural flow: "Para viajeros que cuidan el medio ambiente, entender tu huella de carbono ayuda a decidir mejor tu transporte. El auto promedio en esta ruta emite aproximadamente 125.96 libras de CO₂ a la atmósfera por viaje. Esto equivale a unos 0.79 libras de CO₂ por milla recorrida." * *Paragraph 2:* * English: "For those seeking greener alternatives, bus travel significantly reduces per-person emissions, while electric vehicle owners can further minimize their environmental impact by using public charging stations now available along major Texas highways." * Spanish: "Para quienes buscan alternativas más verdes, viajar en autobús reduce significativamente las emisiones por persona, mientras que los propietarios de vehículos eléctricos pueden disminuir aún más su impacto ambiental utilizando estaciones de carga pública ahora disponibles en las principales autopistas de Texas." * *Heading 3:* * English: "Time Investment by Mode" * Spanish: "Inversión de tiempo por modo" or "Tiempo de viaje según el modo de transporte". "Tiempo estimado por modo de transporte" sounds very natural. Let's use "Tiempo de viaje por modo de transporte" or simply "Inversión de tiempo por modo" (literal but clear). Let's use "Tiempo de viaje por modo de transporte" or "Tiempo invertido por modo". "Tiempo de trayecto por modo de transporte". Let's go with "Tiempo de viaje por modo de transporte" or "Inversión de tiempo por modo de transporte" -> "Tiempo de viaje según el modo de transporte". Let's use "Tiempo de viaje por modo de transporte". * *Table translation:* * Headers: * "Transportation Mode" -> "Modo de transporte" * "Approximate Travel Time" -> "Tiempo de viaje aproximado" * "Cost Range" -> "Rango de costos" / "Costo aproximado" * "Carbon Footprint" -> "Huella de carbono" * Row 1: * "Driving (personal vehicle)" -> "Conduciendo (vehículo personal)" * "3 hours 5 minutes" -> "3 horas 5 minutos" * "$$ (fuel only)" -> "$$ (solo combustible)" / "$$ (solo gasolina)" * "125.96 lbs CO₂" -> "125.96 lbs de CO₂" (keep units, but maybe write "125.96 lbs CO₂" as standard, or translate 'lbs' to 'libras' if we want, but usually keep 'lbs' or write 'libras'). The prompt says "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged. Keep phone numbers and URLs unchanged." It doesn't explicitly say keep 'lbs' but keeping units is usually safer or translating naturally. Let's write "125.96 lbs de CO₂" or just "125.96 lbs CO₂". Let's translate 'lbs' to 'libras' if we translate the text, but keeping 'lbs' is also fine. Let's write "125.96 libras de CO₂" or keep the exact string if possible, but standard translation translates 'pounds' to 'libras'. The source text has "125.96 lbs CO₂" in the table but "125.96 pounds of CO₂" in the text. Let's translate 'pounds' to 'libras', and 'lbs' to 'libras' or keep 'lbs'. Standard Spanish uses 'libras' or 'kg' but since it's a US-centric page, travelers expect 'libras' or 'lbs'. Let's write "125.96 libras de CO₂". * Row 2: * "FlixBus" -> "FlixBus" (keep unchanged) * "3-4 hours" -> "3-4 horas" * "$ (advance booking)" -> "$ (reserva con anticipación)" * "Lower per person" -> "Menor por persona" * Row 3: * "Greyhound" -> "Greyhound" * "3-4 hours" -> "3-4 horas" * "$-$$" -> "$-$$" * "Lower per person" -> "Menor por persona" * Row 4: * "Flight (HOU to AUS)" -> "Vuelo (HOU a AUS)" / "Vuelo (HOU a AUS)" (keep codes unchanged: "Flight (HOU to AUS)" -> "Vuelo (HOU a AUS)" or "Vuelo (HOU - AUS)". Let's write "Vuelo (HOU a AUS)") * "1.5 hours flight + airport time" -> "1.5 horas de vuelo + tiempo en el aeropuerto" * "$$$" -> "$$$" * "Varies by aircraft" -> "Varía según el avión" * *Heading 2:* * English: "Flying: William P. Hobby Airport to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport" * Spanish: "Volando: Aeropuerto William P. Hobby a Aeropuerto Internacional Austin-Bergstrom" (keep airport names unchanged as requested: "William P. Hobby Airport to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport". Wait, the prompt says "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." So I should write: "Flying: William P. Hobby Airport to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport" but translated, or keep the English names? "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." -> "Volando: William P. Hobby Airport a Austin-Bergstrom International Airport" or translate 'Airport' to 'Aeropuerto' but keep the proper names? "William P. Hobby Airport" is often translated as "Aeropuerto William P. Hobby", but the prompt says "Keep city/airport names and codes unchanged." So keeping "William P.
