- Bus, Two marshrutkas, change at Tbilisi: No direct marshrutka: change at Tbilisi (allow an hour for each change; in Tbilisi often a taxi between stations). Marshrutkas leave when full, pay the driver in cash (lari); the last ones go mid-afternoon on long routes.
Booking links open the route on the country's transport booking site for trains, buses, boats and transfers, and a flight search for flights, dated about two weeks out; change the date there.
