Your post gave me a mental image of attempting to take my grandmother on a subway in China. Ummm, the answer is, "no." I like the buses, myself, but this option also fails to pass the "grandma test" because: 1) in general, they don't have stellar suspension systems; and 2) it can be difficult to fetch taxis near their drop off points.
I estimate that the taxi will cost you 120 or less, but I haven't been down there in about a year, so I'm not sure about the current fare structure. Even if you end up dropping as much as 250, I think the taxi option is a no brainer in your situation.
