Tbilisi Mall Offers New Fixed-Rate Taxi Service

TBILISI – One of Georgia’s largest shopping centers, Tbilisi Mall, had introduced a new taxi service from any location in the Georgian capital for a fixed fare of 5 lari.

According to Tbilisi Mall’s administration, the 15-vehicle fleet of Fiat-made taxis are new and fully equipped with and sensors to monitor both the driver and the safety of the passengers.

 “I am very happy that Tbilisi Mall has finally provided a comfortable and reasonably priced option for getting to and from the city. I‘m a frequent visitor to the Mall, something that had to be done to make the trip more convenient,” said Tariel, a visitor to the Mall.

After Tbilisi’s far larger East Point opened in late 2015, the two retail centers have competed customers, with both offering an increasing number of services to their potential clients.

Both malls have struggled to attract regular customers due to their locations on the outer reaches of Tbilisi’s city limits, where public transportation is limited to small minivans and private taxis.
