About us
Who makes tbilisimetro.org, how we work, and where every figure on this site comes from.
An independent guide to the Tbilisi Metro
We are a small group: some of us know Tbilisi and ride the metro, others build websites and tools. tbilisimetro.org puts the practical things in one place — a page for each station, one for each of the two lines, the map, the schedule, the fare and the Metromoney card, a route planner, and guides to the places you can reach by metro. It is free, needs no sign-up, and runs in English and Georgian.
We are not the Tbilisi Transport Company. We sell no tickets, issue no Metromoney cards and cannot help with refunds or lost property. For anything about the journey itself, go to TTC.
Where the data comes from
TTC's published tariff
Every price here comes from the Tbilisi Transport Company's own tariff pages on ttc.com.ge — the ₾1 flat fare with 90 minutes of transfers, the ₾2 card, the day, week, month, three-month, six-month and year packages, and the ropeway fares. Prices carry the month we checked them.
TTC's Metromoney card page
The card rules — where to buy and top up, how to see the balance, the one-month refund window, what happens if you lose or damage a card and which two stations handle that — come from the operator's own page, not from other guides.
References for the network itself
Line and station lists, opening dates and structure come from published references and are cross-checked against the operator's route map. Where sources disagree — as they do on how many stations the system has — we say so instead of picking a number quietly.
If we cannot verify it, we do not print it
TTC does not publish a band-by-band metro timetable or a table of who qualifies for a concession. So this site labels its interval figures as approximate, and for concessions it tells you to ask at a station payment office rather than inventing a list.
Why nothing here says «real time»
The Tbilisi Transport Company runs a live arrivals service for buses, and it works. For the metro it does not: the same interface returns an empty list for underground stations. We checked that ourselves rather than assuming.
So you will not see a countdown to the next train anywhere on this site. What we can tell you honestly is the operating window — from shortly before 06:00 until midnight — and roughly how often trains come.
What we fixed on our own pages
A travel card that we simply did not list
TTC sells a six-month package for ₾150. It was missing from our table, which jumped from three months at ₾100 to a year at ₾250 — so a reader staying half a year was pushed towards the wrong option.
The 90-minute rule is not automatic
We described the ₾1 transfer window without its condition. TTC states that a passenger paying through the mobile app or in cash does not get it. On a metro–bus–metro chain that is the difference between ₾1 and ₾3.
Twenty-two stations or twenty-three
We said 22 while also saying Line 1 has 16 and Line 2 has 7 — which adds up to 23. Station Square is physically two stations, one on each line, joined by a passage; that is why the counts differ. The site now says 23 and explains it, while still giving the interchange a single page.
An attribution we could not support
Our interval table said «reported by TTC». The operator publishes no such table. The figures are now labelled as approximate, with the operating window given as the part that is actually published.
The card rules were missing entirely
Keep the receipt or a lost card cannot be restored; refunds are possible within one month; damaged and lost cards are handled only at Avlabari and Medical University. All of that is on TTC's own page and none of it was on ours.
Corrections
We make mistakes, and the network changes. Write to [email protected] with a link to the page — we will check it against TTC and fix it. The month we last checked stays on the page so you can see how fresh a figure is.
How the site is funded
The site is free. Hosting and development are paid for by advertising. Advertising does not influence the content: we receive nothing from TTC or the city, sell no tickets, place no paid links in the text and do not sell reader data.
Questions and answers
No. tbilisimetro.org is an independent information site, with no connection to TTC or Tbilisi City Hall.
No. Cards are sold at the payment office of any metro station and at the Rike–Narikala ropeway, for ₾2. Keep the receipt.
Because TTC’s live arrivals cover buses, not the metro — the metro query comes back empty. We would rather say that than fake a countdown.
Checked in August 2026 against TTC’s tariff pages. The month sits next to the figures.
Who is behind this site
This site is run by the team at GoRandom, a small group based in the Basque Country in Spain who do two things that go together better than they sound: travel, and build websites.
We were in Tbilisi in November 2024, and the city guide on gorandom.es came out of that trip. We liked it enough to want to go back, and after enough hours spent staring at network maps and comparing travel passes this turned up: a site about nothing except how you actually get around here.
The other half of what we know how to do is web development, and this site is the excuse to put the two together. We do not leave it sitting there: every fare and every timetable carries its source and the date we checked it, and they get revised when the operator changes something. The last thorough revision was in August 2026: the six-month pass (150 ₾) was missing, the 90-minute transfer rule does not apply if you pay with the app or in cash, and the site contradicted itself on whether the network has 22 or 23 stations.
He decides what goes up, checks the data before it does, and answers the email. If you find a fare that has expired or a timetable that no longer holds, there is a specific person to write to.
