It is located on the Didube-Samgori 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 Didube-Samgori line at Didube station.
On October 9, 1997, a former policeman blew himself up with a homemade bomb at the station. No one else was injured.
