Transportation costs may increase on metro
Rezonansi writes that despite city hall’s rejection of possible increases in travel costs on the metro, the government is preparing a law which, if passed, will see transportation costs in the metro increase by 10-20 tetri.
It is noteworthy that city hall did not confirm the plan to increase prices on marshrutkas but later this information came out and the cost increased from 50 tetris to 80 tetris, so accordingly in some months the metro price can become more expensive.
Tbilisi City Hall strongly denies the information and states that the city is not going to increase the metro price.
