        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Cagayan de Oro City?",
        "answer": "Cagayan de Oro City is served by Laguindingan Airport, located about forty-five kilometers from the city center. The main ground transportation options include taxis, ride-share services like Grab, airport shuttle vans, and car rentals. Taxis and Grab are the most convenient and commonly used modes, offering door-to-door service in about forty-five minutes to an hour depending on traffic. Airport shuttle vans provide a more economical shared ride to central drop-off points. Public mass transit like buses is limited directly from the airport, though some buses serve the main highway with a short tricycle ride needed to reach the terminal. Car rentals are available but less popular for city transfers. Most travelers opt for taxis or Grab due to reliability and ease."
