[[File:Kyiv_Bus_Lybidska.JPG|thumb|300px|right|Bus stop for trolley bus #2 towards hitchhiking spot to [[Odessa|Odesa]]]]
Get the metro ''Lybidska'' (ЛИБІДСЬКА) station (last one on blue line). When getting out of the metro, walk up the stairs and walk to the right. Follow the ''tunnel'' for 250m and go up the stairs there 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 (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!

'''Kyiv''' (Київ), also known as '''Kiev''' ([[Russia]]nRussian: '''Киев'''), is the capital of [[Ukraine]].
Kyiv is a very big city, however it has a very efficient metro (underground) system for hitching out of the city in all directions.
=== South-East towards [[Dnepropetrovsk]] (M04) ===
Take the metro to ''Vydubychi'' (ВИДУБИЧІ) station (green line) and walk to the car market. Try hitchhiking there. Cost to get there: 2 UAH <!--Last verified: Nov 2009-->
=== Northwest towards [[Lublin]] (Poland) (M07) ===
It is worth accepting one or two lifts from locals, in order to get further out of the Kyiv metropolitan area. After that, there are very few towns for most of the length of the M07, so if you stop a truck it is likely to take you all the way to [[Kovel]]. The road enters Poland at the [[Dorohusk-Jahodin border crossing]].

=== West towards [[Lviv]], southwest towards [[Chernivtsi]] (M06) ===
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 Zhytomyr, and hop off at the next village called Dmytrivka. Then you're already along the motorway where most traffic goes long-distance. In addition to that, the bus stop is quite spacious, so trucks can more easily stop here than at the Zhytomyrska spot.
If you are going southwest, then you turn at the town of [[Zhytomyr]] 100 km 100 km west from Kyiv.
=== South towards [[Odessa|Odesa]] (M05) ===
