When hitchhiking people may try to put you on a Dolmuş of bring you to the Otogar or bus-station. The Dolmuş (mınıbus) is the most common way of public transport inside and between cities & towns. They wıll stop anywhere on the road even if you don't call them. They are small buses that should be used for small dıstance travels. Generally they cost between 1 and 3 Lira.
For larger distances the Bus (coaches) are more common. They provide reliable service and are pretty comfortable. Free tea and snacks are generally served along the way and they generally stop in nice rest areas. Some drivers may try to convince you to take a bus. If you do end up on a bus they are relatively cheap although not as cheap as trains which are slower but more adventurous.

===Food===
You will never have to worry about lack of food in Turkey. Many truck drivers have coffee makers in their truck. Turkish people are very generous and it is seldom you get a ride without a driver offering you food. It's also very cheap and mainly meat based food. The experts are also good in producing a lot of specific and tasty sweets. The tea (black tea or apple tea in Istanbul)is ''the'' national drink and almost all the people that you will meet will offer you a tea, this the easiest way to show you their hospitable culture.
==Sleep==
All towns in Turkey have a ''OtoGar'', a bus terminal. Most of them will offer a warm and fairly safe place to spend the night.
