Batumi Transport

Batumi Public Bus

Since autumn 2018, Batumi has switched to paperless fares. Now you can pay for travel by using the Batumi Card. The card can obtain at 55, Gorgasali. Or in the terminals of the Bank of Georgia. (there you can replenish it later). It is easy to use the card. Just place it to the reader located behind the back of the bus driver. One card can use by several people. For this, it must apply to the reader the appropriate number of times.

There are 19 yellow and gray buses in the city. Unlike minibuses. Buses run on schedule and only stop at designated stops. Stops in the center of Batumi equipped with an electronic scoreboard. Indicating the route number. And time before its arrival. However, the catch is that all the text. Both on the scoreboard and on the bus itself. It written only in Georgian. So it is better to play it safe once and turn to the locals.

Bus routes that will be useful to tourists: No. 9 (connects the bus station and Batumi airport) and No. 10 (runs between the railway station and Batumi airport).

Unlike buses, minibuses paid in cash at the exit. Minibuses can stop by a simple show of the hand. And not necessary at a public transport stop. The sign on the windshield of the minibus indicates its number. And the stops that it will pass in Georgian. Minibuses run not only within the city of Batumi. But to neighboring towns. Like Gonio, Kvariati, Sarpi. If you need to get to these points. Go to the central bus station in Batumi. And check the time of their departure.
