      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Victoria Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Victoria International Airport is served by BC Transit buses (routes 70, 72, 87, 88) with frequent departures from the McTavish Transit Exchange, connecting to downtown Victoria for a cash fare of $6; the trip takes about 30–40 minutes and is the most popular budget option. Taxis are available curbside or by pre-booking with companies like Yellow Cab, offering a faster 25-minute door-to-door ride at a higher cost. Ride-share services are not explicitly mentioned, but several on-airport car rental agencies (Avis, Budget, Hertz, National, Thrifty) and off-airport providers (Alamo, Enterprise) serve the airport, and driving yourself takes roughly the same time as a taxi with parking available in two lots next to the terminal.",
