'''Cheboksary''' (Russian: Чебоксары; Chuvash: Шупашкар, Shupashkar) is a city on the Volga river in [[Russia]], capital of the [[Chuvashia|Chuvash Republic]].
== Hitching in and around ==
Take trolleybus 3, 6, 8 or 16 to the DPS (traffic police) station on the road ''Marposadky šosse'' (Марпосадском шоссе), which is after the tractor factory. You can hitchhike straight from the stop.
=== East to [[Kazan]] and [[Ufa]], <br />+ West to [[Nizhny Novgorod]] and [[Moscow]] (M7) ===
Take a marshrutka from the suburban bus station next to the train station (not the long-distance bus station across the tracks) to the stop ''Kugesi''. The bus stop is on the M7.
If going west, it is best to walk back in the direction the marshrutka came from and cross to the other side of the intersection to Cheboksary, thus avoiding Cheboksary-bound traffic. For hitchhikers with the destination Moscow, there is sufficient traffic going straight there that it is wise to turn down rides only to Nizhny Novgorod.
