Don't even try it with publicos. You are asking for trouble, the logisitcs is a head scratcher, the comfort sucks, and an unsafe trip is unsafer in a publico.

CC has it right it is "a very Looooooooooooooooooooooooong way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Don't arrive to a stress risk location already stressed out from the publicos. It will not favor you.

Be a spendthrift and take a taxi; better equipment and is a thru trip; no stops to p/u or d/o passengers; and no constant change of vehicles to Av Rep?blica de Colombia 68, just north of the botanical gardens.

Traveling on the capital roads is hell, don't make your trip worse with an unwise choice of transport.

Apollo Taxi has a good reputation.

Bob don't take my name in vain! The guaguas don't go all the way to the embassy I don't think, only to the other end of the park then you will have to catch another one up to Avenida De Republica Columba an probably another west to the embassy.

"Jaguar" what "METRO" are you talking about?????
I live near the "Botanical Gardens" and have no idea????
"Apollo Taxi" is the best.
If you want to know the exact fare to your destination, just ask the driver to radio the dispatcher and ask, then pay what the dispatcher says.

Bob has travelled all over the DR, used publicos often, well seasoned Santo Domingo public transport user, so he's no newbie to the risks etc.
