Public transport: It is possible to flag down the local buses and marshrutkas and cars willing to pick up hitchhikers run frequently along Shida Kartli's main north-south road. For any destinations off the main road, it is advisable to go to the local bus station early in the morning to inquire about service.
For higher price although still cheap, it is possible to hire a taxi from virtually anywhere in the region to get to the main cities. To get to smaller destinations, it is best to go to the local bus station to see if any taxi drivers are interested. If only making a day trip to a small destination, it is fairly easy to hire a driver for the full day at reasonable rates no more than 30$.
