== Hitching out =='''Bogotá''' is the capital and largest city in [[Colombia]].
I hitched out of Bogota on Deceber 13th 2011.=== Northeast towards [[Villa de Leyva]], [[Sogamoso]], [[Cúcuta]]; North towards [[San Gil]], [[Bucaramanga]], [[Santa Marta]] ===
I was advised not Take the TransMilenio 8, B16, B18 or B191 (see Google Transport, Moovit or simply ask around for departure points) (05/2019: COP 2,400) to hitch the final stop "Estación Terminal". Please note: A few bus routes in Bogotá change or don't work on Sundays and public holidays. At whatever station you get on , you can ask any person to let you in with their TransMilenio card in exchange for the ticket price.At "Estación Terminal" walk towards the side of exit and turn right on the roadpedestrian bridge. I was told instead to hit Crossing the bridge, you will spot a nearby Esso gas stations station (04°46′19.72″N 74°02′32.3″W). This is where you can start hitchhiking and strike conversations with truck drivers. So that's what I didasking people for a ride.
So first you want to get to Soacha. To get there=== Southwest towards [[Ibagué]], take the TransMileno to the southern-most station[[Armenia]], Portal Del Sur. Follow the signs leading to "Autopista del Sur", and take a van going to Soacha. Ask to get dropped off past "El Parque", at the end of town. From there, walk to the Terpel gas station.[[Cali]]; South towards [[Neiva]] ===
httpTake the TransMilenio G43 or G42 (Sundays only) (see Google Transport, Moovit or simply ask around for departure points) (05/2019: COP 2,400) to the final stop "San Mateo". Please note://bitA few bus routes in Bogotá change or don't work on Sundays and public holidays. At whatever station you get on, you can ask any person to let you in with their TransMilenio card in exchange for the ticket price.In San Mateo walk towards the exit and turn right on the pedestrian bridge. Leaving the station you will see the highway going South ("Autopista Sur") right in front of you.lyHere wave down and get on any bus going towards Sibaté and ask the bus driver to be let out at "Cruze Sibaté" (05/udX8yz 2019: COP 1,500) where you will find two quite frequented Mobil gas stations (google maps04°32′40.96″N 74°14′41.06″W). This is where you can start hitchhiking and asking people for a ride.

== Hitching in Public transport ==<!---The '''OnlyTransmilenio''' include this section if it is difficult an extensive and confusing rapid transit metrobus service. There are no ticket controls on the buses, fares are paid when entering the stations. You will need to enter buy a city3, like from 000 COP card which is not returnable. Some zones require the ring around Berlin use of different cards. You can vault the turnstyle when the blue-clothed security guard isn't looking. Kids often run accross the street and jump on the bus between the platform and bus to avoid fares. There are regular buses as well which are sometimes easier and don't require a card. They can't be blackridden though. == Internet =={{infoneeded|Places with free computers or the M25 around London!WiFi}} == Eating ==-->{{infoneeded|Free or cheap food}}

I stayed at the side of the road, waited about 10 minutes and got a ride from a truck which went to Neiva.'' -[[User:che.apelsin|che.apelsin]] {{IsIn|Colombia}}[[trash:Bogotá]][[nomad:Bogotá]]
