        "answer": "From Davao International Airport (DVO) to the city center, taxis are the most convenient and widely used option, with a fixed-rate coupon system available at the airport counter. Ride-share services like Grab are also popular and can be booked via app, often providing transparent pricing and comfort. Jeepneys and multicabs serve some routes near the airport but are less practical for visitors with luggage due to limited space and complex routes. Car rentals are available but not commonly used for city transfers; they are better suited for exploring beyond Davao. There is no direct mass transit rail link. Most travelers opt for taxis or Grab for their reliability and ease, with the journey taking around twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic."
