Kutaisi-Tbilisi Transfer Cooperative (KTCO)

A licensed ground transportation cooperative that operates fixed-route minibus and sedan services between Kutaisi airport and Tbilisi (with stops at major hotels, train station, city center) on a published, reliable schedule. Travelers book 48 hours in advance via WhatsApp, phone, or simple web form; pricing is transparent and fixed per zone. The cooperative contracts with 8-12 local drivers (employed or revenue-share partners) and owns/leases 6-8 vehicles, operating 6-8 departures daily timed to flight arrivals.

Original Problem

Travelers struggle to find reliable, affordable airport transfer options with unclear pricing and limited real-time information

International travelers arriving at secondary airports like Kutaisi face fragmented, confusing options for getting to their final destination (Tbilisi), with unreliable bus schedules, unclear pricing, language barriers, and no unified booking platform. Current solutions force travelers to piece together information from multiple sources, leading to missed connections, overpaying for transfers, or arriving late to accommodations.
