Template:Infobox Russian Location Cheboksary ((Russian: Чебоксары; Chuvash: Шупашкар, Shupashkar) is a city on the Volga river in Russia, capital of the Chuvash Republic.
Hitching out
Hitchhiking around Cheboksary is pretty easy, coming from the west there's a good spot behind the DPS station & crossing at the beginning of town. Note: Within the village of Kugesi it's pretty hard to hitchhike along the M7 highway, better walk out of town here until the highway junction (if going east).
East to Kazan and Ufa, West to Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow (M7)
Take a marshrutka from the suburban bus station next to the train station (not the long-distance bus station across the tracks) to the stop Kugesi. The bus stop is on the M7.
If going west, it is best to walk back in the direction the marshrutka came from and cross to the other side of the intersection to Cheboksary, thus avoiding Cheboksary-bound traffic. For hitchhikers with the destination Moscow, there is sufficient traffic going straight there that it is wise to turn down rides only to Nizhny Novgorod.
