There is also a bus from the beginning of the Calea Clujului. The stop is in front of the San Paolo bank (same building with the police station). It is called Metro Bus.
=== West towards [[Hungary]] {{EEuropean Route Number|60}} ===
Get to ''Calea Borsului'', at the end of the tram line, pass under the bridge, and walk some meters from the little road to the right. There you wait. You may get a lift to Bors, the last village in [[Romania]]which is close to the border, but many times people will take you to Hungary. If they can't take you to Budapest, get out at the border, don't go further. That is the best place to catch a ride to Budapest on those whole 250Kms (even taking in account places close to Budapest). If you go further, waiting times will increase significantly. Most of those who cross the border, go to Budapest anyway. Waiting time is a few minutes in daylight.
At the border you can stay right behind the passport check, where the cars don't start to accelerate yet. Right where the lanes merge. The presence of the officers makes drivers feel secure. The restaurants and the insurance kiosks have a much "darker" look. It is not worth to walk there.
Many will tell you they go to Wien or Italy, and leave you on M0. M0 is still far from Budapest center, and you will probably need to take local buses and trains (up to three depending on the exit you take on M0, and the time you get there).
The hardest part is to get to the border. Sometimes it can be more than an hour to hitch those 15 kilometres. It is worth to skip this waiting by getting on a bus. They have big red ORADEA BORS inscription above the windshield, and they usually stop for hitchhikers. They also stop at the end of the tram line. The fare is 1 Eur (4 lei).
