        "answer": "From Melbourne's city center, the SkyBus City Express runs 24/7 between Southern Cross Station and Melbourne Airport with departures every 10–15 minutes, making it the most popular and reliable public option. Rideshare services like Uber, Didi, and Shebah offer door-to-door convenience with dedicated pick-up and drop-off zones at each terminal, though an access fee applies. Taxis are available from ranks at Terminals 1, 2, and 4, providing a direct but pricier alternative. Driving yourself is possible with a range of airport parking options, from budget value car parks with free shuttle buses to premium terminal car parks, but parking costs are higher than public transit or rideshare for longer stays.",
