        "answer": "From Brunei International Airport to Bandar Seri Begawan city center, taxis are the primary mode of transport. The ride takes about ten to fifteen minutes and costs around twenty-five to thirty Brunei dollars. Taxis are available outside the arrivals hall but are limited in number; it is wise to pre-book or confirm the fare before starting the journey. Public buses run on a few routes near the airport but do not stop directly at the terminal, so they are impractical for most travelers. Ride-share services like Dart operate locally and can be booked via a mobile app, offering a similar experience to taxis. Car rentals are available at the airport and give flexibility for exploring beyond the city, though driving is on the left. Since mass transit is minimal, taxis are the most used option for visitors."
