Rapid Transit
Rapid transit or mass rapid transit (MRT), also known as heavy rail or metro, is a type of high-capacity public transport generally found in urban areas. A rapid transit system that primarily or traditionally runs below the surface may be called a subway, tube, or underground. Unlike buses or trams, rapid transit systems are railways (usually electric railway, electric) that operate on an exclusive right-of-way (transportation), right-of-way, which cannot be accessed by pedestrians or other vehicles, and which is often grade-separated in tunnels or on elevated railways. Modern services on rapid transit systems are provided on designated lines between rapid transit station, stations typically using electric multiple units on rail tracks, although some systems use guided rubber tires, magnetic levitation (''maglev''), or monorail.

Didube (Tbilisi Metro)
Didube ( ka, დიდუბე) is a metro station in Tbilisi, Georgia. It is located on the Akhmeteli–Varketili Line. Didube is three stations from the central station, and five from the city's main street (Rustaveli Avenue metro station, Tbilisi Rustaveli Avenue), in between Gotsiridze and Grmagele stations. The station is above ground. The Didube markets are located nearby, and the city's main bus station lies adjacent to the metro station. As buses to a number of locations, such as Vladikavkaz and the ski-fields at Bakuriani depart from there, it is common for people to catch the metro to Didube, and then change to the buses. If the planned third line for the Tbilisi Metro goes ahead, it will interlink with the Akhmeteli–Varketili Line at this station. On 9 October 1997, a former policeman blew himself up with a homemade bomb at the station. No one else was injured.
