Traffic in Granada
Traffic in Granada is a bit chaotic. There are usually numerous traffic jams. So if you visit Granada it's better to leave the car parked in a car park and to use public transport.
There are several types of public transport in the town, such as the coach, taxi, underground or tram. There is also a small tourist train that takes you to the most characteristic monuments such as the Alhambra, the Cathedral and the neighborhood of Albaicín.
If you want to get from the suburbs to the town center, the best option is to take the underground or tram. Both are faster than the coach (or bus), but are a bit more expensive.
Once in the downtown area, (or once downtown) there is a large pedestrian zone where you can walk. In some downtown streets of downtown passing passenger cars are allowed, but speed is limited to twenty kilometers per hour. However, the streets are too very narrow and the passage of lorries or vans are not allowed.
People living in Granada knows know all too well the traffic problems that exist in the town and so many people use the scooter to move around faster, or catch ride the bicycle on in the cycle lane, which is healthier and does not pollute the air.
How long does the tram take from the suburbs to the downtown (or to the centre)?
It takes about twenty minutes.
My train arrives at quarter past eight. Do you think you could pick me up at the station? I'll wait on the platform number three.
Very well written. Good stuff!
My corrections are in red and my suggestions to sound more natural are in blue/grey.
"Know all too well" is another way to "Know very well" (in this context). You can use "all too well" to indicate that someone knows something through experience. For example, people from Granada know "all too well" the traffic problems because they have been stuck in traffic jams many times. I could not say that because I have not personally experienced traffic jams in Granada. I would have to say "know very well".
