        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Cancún?",
        "answer": "Cancún International Airport offers several ground transportation options to the city center and Hotel Zone. The ADO bus is the most popular and economical choice, with frequent service to the downtown bus terminal in about thirty minutes. Shared shuttle vans and private transfers provide direct door-to-door service at a higher cost but with added convenience. Taxis are readily available outside the terminals but are often expensive and lack meters, so you must agree on a fare beforehand. Ride-share services like Uber operate but face restrictions and may not pick up directly at the terminal. Car rentals are widely available for exploring the Riviera Maya, though driving in the Hotel Zone can be congested. Most travelers use the ADO bus for its reliability, affordability, and direct route to downtown Cancún."
