TL;DR
You need a transport card to ride Tbilisi metro and buses, which can be topped up at BOG ATMs. Maps.me works offline and shows bus numbers and routes.
The Tbilisi transport card can sometimes be picked up from departing travelers. You can top it up at BOG bank ATMs found throughout the city.
The same transport card is valid for both the metro and city buses in Tbilisi.
Maps.me with offline Georgia maps works great for navigating Tbilisi buses. It shows bus numbers and routes without internet, so no roaming needed.
Most signage on Tbilisi public transport and at stops is in Russian, with very little English. International travelers should be prepared for this.
