It is no exaggeration that there are gas stations every few hundred metres. When riding from Ulus to Mamak, don't be tempted to get off at the first bunch of gas stations you see. Instead, Try and get the driver to take you beyond the ring road where there are many rides going long distances. The closest town to the bunch of gas stations beyond the ring road is called "Ortakoy"... only 500 metres or so from the gas station although fence climbing might be necessary.

Take a metro or dolmus to the main bus station called A.S.T.I. From there you can already see the highway. If you turn right you can see the signs saying Konya and Golbasi. Just walk along the highway, which is only about 2 km. You can either thumb on the road or try your luck on the fuel station which is situated there (in January 2012 the staff was very helpful to [[User:rozwal|rozwal]] in finding a ride). From there you can easily hitch to the ring of Ankara which has the junction in Golbasi, or you just take a Dolmus to Golbasi for 2 Lira. The dolmus stops at a crossover of the highway.
 
To get to Cappadocia Region, find a hitch to Aksaray and look out for the signs for the road to Nevşehir (just when you enter the city, there's also a gas station where your driver can stop). From there you can easily stand on the side of the street, many trucks going that direction, too.
