'''THE BEST OPTION'' to Serbia and Hungary'
I was hitchhiking around 10 times from this spot and always got a ride within a minute or two. Take a bus 216 or 276 from Kvaternikov trg to Ivanja reka. After about 25 minutes of ride, you should see a small church on your right side (https://goo.gl/maps/pwcr0). Get off the bus, walk back to the church and turn right. This street is going directly to the entrance of the highway. You have to walk around 5 minutes and you will see an intersection with a traffic light (https://goo.gl/maps/L8GNAdoL7v). Ask drivers at traffic light to take you to the toll gate Ivanja Reka which is now farther than it used to be before, but don't worry. Same HH spot if you are going north towards Budapest, just ask people if they are going to the north toll gate. (by [[User:NixyJungle|NixyJungle]])
You have four options for these destinations.
* First option is to get a bus on one of the main bus terminals in Zagreb. The name of that terminal is ''Kvatrić'' or ''Kvaternikov Trg''(square), it's close to the centre of Zagreb. There you have to get on bus #216 or #276 which ride you to ''Ivanja Reka'' or the main on-ramp on the motorwayoutdated and deleted. Of course ask the bus driver to leave you in ''Ivanja Reka''. In this place you have 20 minutes of walk through some fields. But don't worry, it's a delightful walk. After you reach the ramp you can easily get rides directly to the border with [[Serbia]], Belgrade and the border with BosniaLook up for updated version.
* Second option is to get the tram #2, #3 or #13 to ''Savišće'' or ''Žitnjak''. Get out at the last stop and then walk for about 15 minutes towards the motorway. On the motorway you'll find a bus stop and there you can easily hitchhike towards the on-ramp in ''Ivanja Reka'' or you can even stop cars who are going to Belgrade or Bosnia. Ask the locals for extra tips and explanations.
''[[User:nuclearphyllis|Nuclearphyllis]]' local experts took him to the first toll station on the Zagreb-Belgrade motorway, even though it was illegal to hitchhike from there. They weren't troubled and got a ride within 10 minutes.''
* Third option, even better than going to ''Ivanja Reka'',is going to ''Dumovec'' with bus #276also outdated. This spot gets you closer to the tolls. So, get off in ''Dumovec'' (the last stop) which is a small car-park like thing, walk back a bit in the direction that the bus came from from maybe 50m and turn right. You will know it is the right road/path as you can see the motorway in the disatance. Follow it through the roundabout under construction till you get to the bridge over the motorway, turn right and follow toe motorway 1.5km to the toll. As of 20th April 2013 the road is under construction, presumably making a new exit/entrance Look up for the motorway. The workers didn't seem to mind. There used to be a fence, but no longer due to the road worksupdated version.
* Fourth option, go to Savski most and get on IKEA bus. It will take you to IKEA, and this is right on the highway to Belgrade, next to Dumovec. This bus ticket costs 10 kuna and you can use 5 kuna discount in IKEA for food or coffee.
=== Direction [[Budapest]], [[Varazdin]] and [[Cakovec]] ===
(Read below, this one doesn't exist anymore! The best option is on the bottom - to HH on Slavonska avenija ) Take bus number 216 from Kvaternikov trg to the last stop in Ivanja Reka or bus 276 till 2 stations before the final station. Ask for the church in Ivanja Reka, people will know it, you should get out there. There will be a small road which leads to the on ramp, ask people for which one it is. You should walk till the traffic lights, the turn right and you already see the place. After the lights you should walk about 300 meters and you can start hitching there with a sign VZ for example. Works like a charm, someone waited there for less than 10 minutes.<br />
[[User:NixyJungle|NixyJungle]] edit: No need to walk 300 meters after traffic lights. You can ask people on the traffic light. It's easier and more safe, plus, if the police comes, you are legal, because sign for the beginning of the highway and forbidden hitchhiking is 200 meters after the traffic light.
