Irakli Khmaladze confirmed the price increase and stated that this would increase the number of people using public transport.

"Yes, I do not deny it, it is expensive. Today we have a 50 lari fee per annum and will pay an hourly fee. This is one of the additional stimulating mechanisms to minimize the use of private vehicles and increase use of public transport. As a result of these measures, air pollution from vehicles will be reduced, the number of cargoes will be reduced. This is one of the mechanisms that the municipality will implement, but in turn the municipality will take care of development of public transport, "said Khmaladze.
