==Hitchhiking Out==__TOC__
In direction north: Get a bus from the "Carcelen"-Terminal in the very north heading ether to Cayambe/Otavalo/Ibarra/=== North towards [[Tulcan. Get out at the first "peáje"(Toll-Station). The bus will need 15min. (If you take one of the buses from the terminal heading to a city further north]], they'll charge at least $1, but if you walk about 1km down the road to the bridge, you can get a local bus for $.35, as of March 2015.) There you can easily ask for lifts in direction north.[[Colombia]] ===
===South===Get a bus from the Carcelen-Terminal in the very north heading towards [[Cayambe]], [[Otavalo]], [[Ibarra]], or [[Tulcan]]. Get out at the first "peáje"([[Toll-Station]]). The bus will take 15min. (If you take one of the buses from the terminal heading to a city further north, they'll charge at least $1, but if you walk about 1km down the road to the bridge, you can get a local bus for $.35, as of March 2015.) There you can easily ask for lifts going north.
In direction south: If youre in the centre=== South towards [[Ambato]], [[Cuenca]], [[Loja]], [[Guayaquil]], there [[Peru]]===There are two possibilities. options:* 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.

'''Quito''' is the capital of [[Ecuador]].

== Public transportation =====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.
:''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]]
