  To reach the Riga National Zoological Garden using public transportation, take a bus from your location in Vidzeme to Riga.

This bus will take you directly to the zoo. Make sure to purchase a ticket before boarding, as fines may be applied if you do not have one. The bus stop for the zoo is titled 'Rīgas Zooloģiskais dārzs,' which is just a short walk from the main entrance.
