        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Dumaguete?",
        "answer": "Dumaguete's Sibulan Airport is small and located just a few kilometers from the city center. The most common and convenient option is a tricycle, which is a motorcycle with a sidecar, readily available outside the terminal and costing a low fare for the short ride. Taxis are scarce at the airport, so tricycles are the dominant mode. Ride-share services are not available. Car rentals are not typical at the airport itself but can be arranged in the city. There is no mass transit system serving the airport. Most travelers use tricycles due to their ubiquity and low cost."
