How do you pay for public transport in Tbilisi, and what is the fare?

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.
