        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Reynosa?",
        "answer": "Reynosa International Airport (REX) is located about ten kilometers from the city center. The primary ground transportation options are taxis and ride-share services like Uber, which are the most used due to limited public transit. Official airport taxis are available outside the terminal and offer a safe, reliable option, with fares to downtown typically ranging from 150 to 250 Mexican pesos. Uber is also widely available and often preferred for its convenience and transparent pricing. There is no direct mass transit such as a train or dedicated airport bus connecting the airport to the city center, though local buses do run on nearby main roads if you walk a short distance from the terminal, but this is uncommon for visitors. Car rentals are available at the airport through agencies like Hertz and Avis, useful if you plan to explore beyond Reynosa. Overall, for most travelers, taxis and ride-share are the best choices for direct and efficient transport."
