What the reading shows
Three things the October reading tells you
The Batumi line is on its two-train autumn timetable. On every date from 12 to 31 October tkt.ge listed exactly two double-deckers each way (08:05 and 17:10 out, 08:00 and 16:50 back), against four a day in the summer timetable our trains guide was written on. Seats were plentiful: 397 left for the Saturday a week out, over 600 for the last week of October. Summer weekends sell out; October does not.
Coach fares move by departure, not by company. Metro Georgia priced the same Tbilisi to Batumi run at 30 GEL at 01:00, 10:30, 12:00 and 23:00 and 45 GEL at 05:00, 15:00, 18:00 and 20:00, and the companies on tkt.ge sat in the same 30 to 45 band. If the price matters more than the hour, the 30 GEL departures are there every day.
Kutaisi Airport is the best-served route in the country. Between the train (five a day), Metro Georgia (eleven coaches each way) and the flight-timed coaches on tkt.ge (about 20 listings to Tbilisi on the Saturday, several tagged to a specific arrival), nothing lands without a 20 to 34 GEL way to Tbilisi within the hour. The airport's own shuttle to the city centre runs every two hours, on the odd hour, right through the night.
How to check a fare yourself
This page is a snapshot with a date on every row. The train and coach sources are public and in English; the van prices are not published anywhere, which is why we print the day we read them.
- 1
Trains: search tkt.ge for your date
Open tkt.ge/en/railway, pick the stations and a date. The result lists every train with its number, time, duration and the price per class, plus a 30-day calendar showing how many seats are left on each date. A date showing 0 tickets more than 20 days out is simply not on sale yet. The railway's own site, gr.com.ge, sells the same seats about 2 GEL cheaper but needs an account.
- 2
Coaches: one search for every company
tkt.ge/en/transport lists OmniBus, Georgian Bus, Citybus, Metro Georgia and the Kutaisi airport coaches on one page per route, with the yard each one leaves from and the seats left. Metro Georgia's own site, metrogeorgia.ge, is in Georgian but shows the same times and prices; its Batumi and Kutaisi Airport pages are the ones we read.
- 3
Marshrutkas: ask at the desk
The vans sell nothing online and the yards publish no timetable. The prices here are what the ticket desks at Didube and Navtlughi charged when we read them; a driver can quote 5 GEL more for a big bag or at a holiday. Pay the desk where there is one (Didube) and the driver where there is not.
- 4
Airport buses: the operator pages
Bus 337 is on the Tbilisi Transport Company tariff (1 GEL, 90 minutes of transfers) and the airport's own transport page carries the timetable. Kutaisi Airport prints its shuttle timetable on kutaisi.aero but not the fare, which is paid by card on board.
