Hitching out
North towards Eje Cafetero
Go to the terminal and take a bus that is going towards the airport. It will cost you some 6000 Colombian pesos, or 3 USD. It will go by a pay toll where you will get off and try hitching.
- You can also go to "terminalito" from where buses go for the short distances, and the ticket will cost you 2000-3000 pesos to the "peaje"
Hitching in
Blackriding
The stations for the Mio (rapid transit buses) are only manned at one end. Walk from the opposite end along the outside of the window (bus side) to where you can reach through the door and push a button to open it (the doors on the end don't close all the way), letting you onto the platform. Ticket controls do not appear to be common, though watch out for transit police in the stations.
