        "question": "How do I get to Changi Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "To reach Changi Airport from downtown Singapore, the MRT train is the most popular and efficient option, taking about 30 minutes and costing just a few dollars via a simple transfer at Tanah Merah station. Taxis and ride‑share services offer door‑to‑door convenience with a typical fare of S$25–S$45, though surcharges apply for airport trips and late‑night rides. Public buses are the cheapest but slowest choice, while a dedicated City Shuttle serves many downtown hotels for a flat S$10 per person. Driving and parking are possible but generally the least practical due to high vehicle ownership costs and limited airport parking.",
