        "question": "How do I get to Penang Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Penang International Airport is about 16 km (10 miles) south of downtown George Town, and Rapid Penang public buses connect the city center to the airport along several routes, making it the most budget-friendly option. Taxis and ride-sharing services like Grab offer a faster, more direct door-to-door trip, while driving yourself is possible with parking available at the terminal, though traffic can be heavy on the George Town–Bayan Lepas corridor. There is no dedicated airport shuttle bus; the public bus is generally the most popular for cost-conscious travelers, but Grab or a taxi is quickest and most convenient.",
