        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Praia?",
        "answer": "Praia's Nelson Mandela International Airport sits about 3 km northeast of the city center, making ground transfers quick and straightforward. Taxis are common and are the most-used option for travelers, while a municipal bus service operated by Sol Atlántico runs periodically from around 6am to 9pm with fares regulated at 44 escudos per ride. Shared minibuses called aluguers (or yasis) also connect the airport area to the city, though they are informal, unscheduled, and often crowded. Ride-share apps and dedicated car-rental counters are not widely available at the airport, though a few local rental agencies operate in Praia. For most visitors, a taxi is the fastest and most reliable choice, while the bus is the cheapest.",

The MBTA Silver Line 1 (SL1) bus is a popular choice, offering direct service from South Station to all terminals and is free when leaving the airport to downtown; the Blue Line subway connects to a free shuttle to terminals, and there is also seasonal MBTA ferry service from Long Wharf. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, as well as taxis, are available at designated pickup areas, while the Logan Express bus serves Back Bay and other suburban points. Driving and parking are possible with Central Parking closest to the terminals, though public transit is generally the most affordable and often the fastest option during peak traffic.",
