Saburtalo Line

The Saburtalo Line (Georgian: საბურთალოს ხაზი, romanized: saburtalos khazi) is a line of the Tbilisi Metro in Georgia. The line was first opened in 1979, running originally from Station Square, where Tbilisi Central Railway station is located to Delisi and has since extended to the western residential districts of the city, near Tbilisi State University’s X and XI buildings. It is a second line of the system and runs from the east and west direction of Tbilisi, in contrast to the First Line which runs north-south axis of the city. The line is named after Saburtalo, the district, and neighbourhood of Tbilisi, where 5 of 7 stations of this line are located. Alternatively, the line is being referred to simply as 2nd Line.
