TL;DR
Bus No. 16 runs from Batumi to the Sarpi border crossing with Turkey. It goes via Boni and Chavchavadze Street, makes frequent stops, accepts the Batumi transport card, and minibuses after the border are paid for in Georgian lari.
Bus No. 16 can take you to the Sarpi border checkpoint. For supplies before crossing, get off one stop earlier, where there is a Spar supermarket nearby.
Bus No. 16 runs from the Boni area along Chavchavadze Street towards the Sarpi border. As it stops at every stop, allow extra travel time.
Within Batumi, you can pay for Bus No. 16 with a local transport card. If you continue after the border by marshrutka/minibus, carry Georgian lari in cash.
