''A friend and I wanted to hitchhike to Vienna from here. Upon arriving, we encountered a couple of other hitchhikers going to Balaton. We found a single seat going to Vienna within 30 mins. Upon speaking to the other hitchhikers, I found them a ride within five minutes by asking at the gas station. Another hitchhiker arrived and together we found a ride to the Austrian border within an hour. - [[User:Rebew|Rebew]] (Aug. 2021)''
''I was able to get a ride in under an hour going to directly to Vienna. It was early morning so there wasn't that much traffic (1 car every 2-3 minutes) but seems like a good spot. I think it's worth holding out for a ride across the border if you don't want to end up in Western Hungary somewhere. I had a sign saying "Wien" but the ride was from a Hungarian. - [[User:AloysiusDente|AloysiusDente]] (March 2024)''
==== Option 2: OMV petrol station BAH-csomópont ====
In case the weather outside is not very warm nor welcoming, the mall Duna Plaza, in the northern part of the city XIII district, metro stop Gyongyosi utza offer great opportunities to find a shelter and not being discovered by security guards. In a cold night of november I found a perfect spot to lay down on his mat and sleep, behind the high bar of a closed (but open..) pub on the 2nd floor, next to the restaurants, emergency exit stairs on the back, at the highest floors are also a good option. Toilets are closed at night and security go around to check when they close the building around 02:00.
Another safe option for the winter time would be the *'''airport* ''' - unfortunately you can’t blackride the bus that goes there since the driver checks everyone, but the combined ticket for the Metro and the bus is 530 HUF (~1,15€). If you buy the ticket from the driver instad of the vending machine, it’s 600 HUF. The staff doesn’t care about the people sleeping there and no one checks if you have a flight ticket. Might also be a good option if you’re planning on hitchhiking from there in the morning.
