        "answer": "Public transportation from downtown Mazatlán to Mazatlán International Airport is limited, with no dedicated airport rail or metro service, but local buses and shared shuttle vans (colectivos) serve the corridor along the highway toward the airport. Authorized taxis and ride-share services like Uber are available curbside and are the most popular and fastest options for most travelers, taking about 25–35 minutes depending on traffic. Driving yourself is also straightforward, as the airport is about 16 km southeast of the city center and offers both short-term and long-term parking. Taxis and ride-share tend to cost more than public buses, but they offer door-to-door convenience with luggage.",
