The Tbilisi Metro serves the city with rapid transit subway services.
It was the Soviet Union's fourth metro system.
Construction began in 1952 and was finished in 1966.
The system operates two lines, the Akhmeteli-Varketili Line and the Saburtalo Line.
It has 23 stations and 186 metro cars.
Most stations, characteristic to Soviet-built metro systems, are extravagantly decorated.
Trains run from 6:00 am to midnight.
Due to the uneven ground, the rail lines run above ground in some areas.
Two of the stations are above ground.

The third overground line is planned to connect central Tbilisi with suburbs and Tbilisi International Airport with a possible extension to Rustavi, 30 km east of Tbilisi.
