Tbilisi plans to expand its public transport chain with the construction of three new cable car corridors, according to Vice Mayor Giorgi Tkemaladze, who spoke at the presentation of the city’s transport and urban development policy.
The planned routes will connect:
- Isani – Metromsheni – Vazisubani
- Sarajishvili – Zgvisubani
- Samgori – Vazisubani
“The tradition of cable cars exists in our city. In recent years, we have also rehabilitated them. In this case, the cable car is given the function of public transport. These three directions will be a great benefit for locals in terms of public transport. Also, the construction of the mentioned cable car corridors will be indirectly related to the release of buses and minibuses,” Tkemaladze said.
The vice mayor did not provide details on implementation timelines or financing mechanisms for the projects.
At present, three cable cars operate in Tbilisi: Turtle Lake, Rike, and the Funicular.
