We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",

        "answer": "From Mactan–Cebu International Airport, taxis and ride-hailing services like Grab are the fastest and most convenient way to reach Cebu City center, typically taking 30–45 minutes. Metered white airport taxis and coupon yellow taxis are available at the terminal, while Grab can be booked via the app. Public buses and jeepneys are cheaper but slower and less direct, with no direct rail link to the city. Most travelers use Grab or taxis for their reliability and door-to-door service.",
