:::I'd agree that all spots be kept. It's better to have more options—not only for picking the nearest spot (or the spot easiest to get to from where you are—Istanbul's traffic is generally absurdly congested), but also for picking the right spot depending on what you exactly want to do (i.e., hitch for an hour while you're in the city to spend as little money as possible; or get out of city as quickly as possible no matter how much the public transport costs).

== Gebze option removed ==
This month at least, the train doesn't do to Gebze because of repairs, and the rerouting of the motorway means that one can't reach the petrol station 9 km before Izmit. Consequently, I've removed the following option:
: Get on a ferry to Haydarpaşa (1,75 TL) and from there a suburban train to the last station Gebze (also 1,75 TL). There is only one train line. After you walk up the train station stairs and come to the street, go left and at the intersection turn left again. You'll see a signpost for the Istanbul-Ankara road. Follow the signs, and you can hitch from where the road branches off with the sign "Izmit Ankara". There is little long-distance traffic here, so get a lift going to Izmit and get out at the service station 9 km before Izmit.
If someone learns that the situation has changed, they can restore this in the article. [[User:CRCulver|CRCulver]] 09:47, 17 August 2012 (CEST)
