Hitchiking to [[Haifa]] and the North is not that bad at all. There are two good places to start, both accessible by buses leaving from the central bus station, or from the Arlozerov Terminal (Namir street),
From [[user:Volland|Volland]]'s experience, the best place to hitch from Tel Aviv to the North is from right next to the Azrieli shopping mall (HaShalom train station). You'll need to cross the big bridge from Azrieli east (towards Givataim, on HaShalom/Givat HaTahmoshet street), past the train station, and right there turn left to the small ramp leading to Ayalon North. This is probably the only place in Tel Aviv where a car can brake going to Ayalon north, and many of them do. See exact location [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&daddr=32.073056,34.793985&hl=en&geocode=&mra=mi&mrsp=0&sz=18&sll=32.072934,34.794254&sspn=0.002477,0.003449&ie=UTF8&z=18 here].
Notice that if you're going far north, it's best not to take a ride if doesn't take you at least as far as Netanya - otherwise you'll end up in another bad hitching spot in the Tel Aviv area, such as Hertzlya.
To the Cinema City complex take bus number 501/601/90 (8.7 NIS). This is on the main road, 5 min out of Tel Aviv, and located half a kilometer north of the Gilot junction, where traffic from Jerusalem joins in with Tel Aviv traffic towards the north. Here there is a bus stop, but traffic on the main road is moving too fast to easily stop a car. Try instead hitchhiking a lift with one of the cars leaving the petrol station or shopping mall. Many drivers are only going to the first city on the main road, [[Herzaliya]], but you can eventually get a lift that will take you beyond.
