=== North East towards [[Kharkiv]] ===Get Take the metro to ''Boryspolska'' station ''(Ukr: БОРИСПIЛЬСЬКА, Rus: БОРИСПОЛЬСКАЯ)'' station (the second last one on the green line). From here there is There you find a huge roundabout - walk around the outside of the roundabout until you see the turn off to [[Kharkiv]] ''(Ukr: XAPKIB, Rus: ХАРЬКОВ)''. Walk down the road, and you'll probably see a lot of people also hitching there (there were around 40 last time I some anonymous hitchhiker did it in the middle of winter), ; walk to the back end of the queue and try to look like you're going a long distance - most people will only be going 30 or 40 kilometres km (having a conspicuous backpack helps). Cost to get there: 50 kopecks 2 UAH (1 metro token, which is about 0,10 $16 €) <!--Last verified: Jan 2006Nov 2009--> === South-East towards [[Dnepropetrovsk]] (M04) ===Take the metro to ''Vydubychi'' (ВИДУБИЧІ) station (green line) and walk to the car market.

'''Attention''': Girls be careful, in the evening there are prostitutes working, so tell to the driver that you are hitchhiking immediately! Cost to get there: 50 kopecks2 UAH. Hitchiking from here can take some time, as there is also a lot of local traffic, so in case you´re standing here for too long, take a marshrutka direction ''Zytomir'', and hop off at the next village (called ''Dmytrivka)''. Then you´re on you're already along the ´highway`, but highway where most traffic is goes long-distance traffic. In addition to that, the bus stop is quite spacious, so trucks can more easily stop here than at the ''Zhytomyrska - '' spot. <!--Last verified: April 2008Nov 2009-->

Get the metro ''Lybidska'' (ЛИБІДСЬКА) station(last one on blue line). When getting out of the metro, from walk up the stairs and walk to the right. Follow the ''tunnel'' for 250m and go up the stairs there take to the left. You might see the road to the left and little shops to the right. Walk this way up for 250-300m until you see the bus stop for trolley bus #2 and go till destination (see picture).Take this one (#2) until the last stop ''Kibcentr'' (КІБЦЕНТР). There you'll find a police post, you can just hitchhike behind this post as there is a big bay for cars to stop. But take care, drivers tend to use the parking bay to overtake slow traffic along the road! <!--Cost to get there: 1 metro token + 1 trolleybus ticket = 1 UAH = 0,20$ <!--Last verified: Jul 2007### outdated, no idea how much the bus costs as last time the money-collection woman doesn't wanted us to pay --platschi -->
