==Hitchhiking Out==
In direction north: Get a the trole-bus from to the "Carcelen"'''Quitumbe-Terminal ''' in the very north heading ether to Cayambe/Otavalo/Ibarra/Tulcan. Get south, from there catch any bus in direction south and get out at any point of the Panamericana. The first "peáje"ist quite far, so it is probably better to get out before (Toll-Stationfor example in Tambillo, there is a gas station). The bus from Quitumbe to Tambillo is 0,55 cents per person you will need 15minfind it at the bottom of the station., $0,25This trip is about 21 Km. There you can easily ask for lifts in direction north(May-2022 @patagonia.almundo)
===South===Go to '''El trebol''' (big junction near "La Marin" in the center, final station of the Ecovia-bus). From there catch a bus in direction Tambillo/Machachi and get out in Tambillo. There is a gas station nearby.
In direction south: If youre in the centre, there are two possibilities. * Get the trole-bus to the "Quitumbe"-Terminal in the very south, from there catch any bus in direction south and get out at any point of the Panamericana. The first "peáje" ist quite far ($0,75), so it is probably better to get out before (for example in Tumbillo, there is a gas station).* Go to "El trebol" (big junction near "La Marin" in the center, final station of the Ecovia-bus). From there catch a bus in direction Tumbillo/Machachi and get out in Tumbillo (~$0,50). There is a gas station nearby.== Nomadwiki & Trashwiki ==
===Blackriding===The turnstiles at the exits of the stations for the rapid transit buses seem to often not lock (maybe the couple I tried were just broken) so you can just walk in the exit. There do not appear to be ticket controls on the buses.{{nomadwiki}}
== Personal Experiences ==
:''I arrived very late at night, and this was the first time I got a ride without asking for one. The cops pulled over and asked me what the hell I was doin walking in that neighborhood and was I crazy? They gave me a ride to my friend's place.'' -[[User:Chael777|Chael777]]
''Going south from Quito, I arrived to the terminal Quitumbe. There is possible to take a bus to Tumbillo for 0,5 USD which is on Panamericana. But I walked in the direction of Panamericana by Avenida Mariscal Sucre and started to hitch there, it took me 3 cars (including one lift from a taxi) and a bit more than 1 hour to get to Tumbillo, where was a good spot to hitch further'' -[[User:che.apelsin|che.apelsin]]
