Demonstrators Demand the Restoration of Public Transport

Today in Tbilisi, at 3 PM in front of the Chancellery, civilians are organizing a protest, demanding the reopening of public transportation. The demonstration organizers in the description of the Facebook event say that this is a "protest against the government."

"Nobody is raising their voice and [the government's] behavior has become uncontrollable," reads the description.

1,500 people are planning to join the demonstration, according to the Facebook event data. 

On January 22, the coordination council announced new decisions regarding COVID restrictions, according to which public transportation, along with schools, will remain closed until March 1 in Tbilisi, Kutaisi, and Rustavi.
