        "answer": "From Kotoka International Airport (ACC) in Accra, taxis are the most common and convenient way to reach the city center.

Ride-share services like Uber and Bolt operate in Accra and offer a more predictable pricing alternative, though availability can vary. There is no direct mass transit link from the airport; public buses and tro-tros (shared minibuses) serve nearby roads but are not recommended for visitors with luggage due to crowding and limited space. Car rentals are available at the airport but are less practical for short city stays. Most travelers use taxis or ride-share services for their door-to-door convenience and reliability."
