Tbilisi is a dynamic and growing city, and one of its greatest advantages for residents and visitors alike is its well-developed transportation system. Whether you need to commute daily or simply explore the city, Tbilisi offers multiple options that are fast, affordable, and flexible.
Public Buses
Tbilisi’s network of buses connects all districts of the city. They are modern, reliable, and easy to use. A single ride costs just 1 GEL, and with the same ticket you can transfer to another bus or the metro within 90 minutes free of charge. Buses run frequently and cover even the most distant neighbourhoods.
Minibuses
For many locals, minibuses remain one of the most convenient ways to get around. These minibuses run on fixed routes, often reaching areas not covered by larger buses. They are especially valued for being quick and flexible, often taking more direct routes through the city.
Metro System
Tbilisi’s metro is one of the fastest and most efficient transportation options. With two lines and 23 stations, it connects major residential districts with the city center. The metro operates from early morning until midnight, making it easy for commuters and students to travel quickly without traffic delays.
Cable Cars and Ropeways
In recent years, Tbilisi has introduced modern cable cars and ropeways, offering not only a practical way to move around the city’s hilly terrain but also a scenic experience. These systems are also part of the unified public transport network.
A New Tram Project
Looking ahead, Tbilisi City Hall has announced the introduction of a new tram line that will connect Didi Dighomi to Didube. This project is part of the city’s long-term transportation strategy to reduce traffic congestion, offer sustainable alternatives, and improve mobility for residents. Once completed, the tram will provide a modern, eco-friendly, and efficient commuting option for thousands of people every day.
One Card for All Transport
All public transportation in Tbilisi—buses, metro, minibuses, and cable cars—can be accessed with a Metromoney card or bank card. This unified payment system makes commuting simple and cash-free.
Taxi Services
For those who prefer private transport, Tbilisi is served by several international taxi companies, including Bolt, Yandex, and Maxim. Ordering a taxi is fast and convenient through mobile apps, and all services are connected to bank cards, making payment simple and cash-free. Prices are very affordable compared to many European cities, and cars are available across the city at almost any time of the day.
Affordable for Everyone
One of the most attractive aspects of Tbilisi’s transportation system is affordability. Compared to many other capitals, transportation here is budget-friendly, allowing residents to move around the city without significant expense.
A City Connected
Whether you live in the city center or in outer districts, Tbilisi’s transportation system ensures that you’re never far from where you need to be. Fast connections, flexible options, and low costs make urban life easier and more enjoyable.
