Tbilisi metro stations will be adapted for people with disabilities with financial support of international organisations including the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, mayor Kakha Kaladze announced on Wednesday.
Kaladze announced the plans while reviewing recent updates to the infrastructure, such as upgrade and replacement of ventilation systems and power cables, and said the metro network required renovation “in many directions”.
The main goal of the project is to increase the attractiveness of an integrated public transport system, including through adapting certain stations to the needs of people with disabilities”, he said.
