TL;DR
In Tbilisi, public transport can be paid for with a bank card, Apple Pay, or a dedicated transit card. Travelers report a fare of GEL 1 per ride.
You can tap a regular bank card to pay on buses, so buying a separate transit pass is not essential.
Apple Pay is also accepted for public-transport fares, which is useful if you are not carrying cash.
A dedicated transit card is another payment option if you prefer a separate card for getting around the city.
The reported price for a single ride on Tbilisi public transport is GEL 1.
Bus stops display arrival times for the relevant routes, making it easier to track the next bus before boarding.
