        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Kalibo?",
        "answer": "Kalibo International Airport (KLO) is small and close to the town proper. Tricycles are the primary and most used ground transportation, providing a quick, cheap, and authentic local experience to reach the city center, hotels, or bus terminals. Taxis are not commonly available, and ride-share apps have limited to no presence. Vans and shuttle services can be pre-arranged, especially for transfers to Boracay’s Caticlan port, but these are less common for short rides into Kalibo town. Car rentals are virtually non-existent for point-to-point city trips. For the short distance into Kalibo, tricycles are overwhelmingly the best and most practical option."
