Good afternoon. I'm came from Japan with the latest flight. I would like to go to the Central Hotel in ABC city. How can I get there? What transportation is the best way if I want to save my time?

1. This is how people usually refer to their method of transport. Unless they mention the method by name (by bus, by car etc...)
2.When talking about a specific term, use the definite article.
3.This is a more precise term to use here.
Oh, I see. I would be glad to help you with that. The fastest way is by cab which costs more. The next one is by train.

I see. Did you say using cab is faster but more expensive than using train? Are there any traffic jams on the road until ABC city? We have a lot of traffic jams in Tokyo city. I worry about losing time with them.

1.2. When talking about a term in general, use indefinite articles.
3. This is how this expression is usually sued.
4.You can also say it like this., although your example is correct.
Yes, that is correct. It is more expensive to take a cab but it is more convenient. I do not think there is still traffic during this time.

I got it. However, I'm in difficult situation. I have to arrive there in one hour, but if there were to be traffic jams, I wouldn't arrive there in time. How long does it take a train?

1. When mentioning something for the first time, or talking about a general term, use indefinite articles.
2.This is how you should refer to a method of transport if you mention the vehicle by name. (train, car, plane etc...)
Oh, I see. If you leave now, I think you will arrive there for about forty-five minutes by cab and thirty minutes by train.

Okay, I will go there by train. I think it is reliable that I arrive there by the time if I take a train. Thank you for your help.

Okay, I will go there by train. I think it is reliable that I arrive there on time if I take a train. Thank you very much for your help.

1. This is how you express that you will arrive somewhere at the appointed time.
2.You can add this expression so as to be more polite, if you wish.
Your welcome. You should also purchase a transportation card if you are planning to stay in the city for a while. Do you need help with anything else?

That sounds good. Where can I get the transportation card? Is that a prepaid card or a postpaid card? Can I use a credit card for buying it?
