        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Surabaya?",
        "answer": "From Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, travelers can reach the city center by taxi, ride-share, bus, or rental car. The most popular and reliable option is a ride-share service like Gojek or Grab, which takes about thirty to forty-five minutes depending on traffic and costs around IDR 80,000 to 150,000. Official airport taxis are also available but are slightly more expensive. The Damri bus provides a cheaper public transit alternative, departing regularly to Purabaya Bus Terminal and other points, though it can be slower and less convenient with luggage. Car rentals are available at the airport but are generally not recommended for short city stays due to Surabaya's heavy traffic. Most visitors use ride-share apps for their balance of cost, convenience, and ease of booking."
