The constant development and regulation of public transport is crucial for containing and preventing traffic jams in Tbilisi. One of the main problems in Tbilisi today is that public transport is insufficient and unpopular. The city needs at least nine hundred buses. In addition to adjusting the existing route network to real needs, this would also allow us to add new routes and increase the number of buses on existing ones, thus reducing waiting times for passengers and making public transport more attractive.
Developing Electric Transport:
- Tram - According to today's data, ninety percent of the air is polluted by emissions, with cars being one of the main culprits. A tram is a high-capacity, environmentally friendly, economical, and safe mode of transport that is convenient for people with disabilities. Most importantly, it consumes electricity, does not pollute the air, moves in the lane assigned to it, and, as a result, arrives at the destination faster than other vehicles. A single tram can carry several busloads of passengers at once. We need to quickly do a detailed study to determine where a tram line could be placed and how much money could be allocated for it in the budget.
- Cable cars - It is important to develop the cable car as an ecologically clean, modern, and comfortable mode of public transport. This would enable better, faster, and more comfortable movement of passengers, both tourist and resident. At the initial stage, we would want to build the following lines: University - Bagebi - Tskneti, Didube - Vashlijvari - Lisi, Tbilisi Sea - Lotkin - Station Square, Tbilisi Sea District - Akhmeteli Theater, Vazisubani - Samgori Metro station, Vake Park, connecting Turtle Lake with a new station - Mtatsminda at the existing station - Narikala - Rike.
- Tbilisi subway - In addition to the major ongoing renovation of existing Metro and subway infrastructure, we need to start work on designing new Metro lines and increasing the number of trains.
