        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in San Pedro Sula?",
        "answer": "Getting from Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport (SAP) to central San Pedro Sula is straightforward: the airport is about 11 km (7 mi) southeast of the city, and taxis are the most common and practical option, taking roughly 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. Ride-share services are not reliably available at the airport, and there is no direct mass transit link, so most travelers use official airport taxis or pre-arranged hotel shuttles. Car rentals are available at the terminal for those wanting flexibility, though road signage and local driving conditions can be challenging for first-time visitors. The fastest and most-used option is unquestionably the taxi, which offers fixed or negotiated fares and is the default choice for both locals and arriving passengers.",
