Transport in Tbilisi (bus)

City buses are yellow, and come in various sizes. The bus number and a description of the route are usually listed on signs in the bus windows, but only in Georgian. Board through the double doors in the middle. A journey costs 0.40 GEL($0.22,€0.17), and exact change is required if you don't have a touch card. Hold onto the ticket you receive on the bus; you will need to present it to the yellow-shirted ticket checkers.

Marshrutkas are vans which service the side streets of the city; they are independently owned. Like buses, the route is posted in the front window, but marshrutkas use a different route numbering system, and the route descriptions may be more general than the buses (e.g. "Vake" rather than a specific street in the Vake area).
