At Cluj-Napoca several main internal routes of [[Romania]] intersect:
* North: [[Baia Mare]], [[Ukraine]] (E576)
* South: [[Alba Iulia]], [[Sibiu]], [[Bucureşti]] (E60/E81)
* West: [[Oradea]], [[Hungary]] (E60)
Each one of these routes have specific places for hitchhiking, usually on the outskirts of the city. You can normally tell where these are, because you'll see a bunch of people hitchhiking, as it's very popular in Romania.
It's recommended that you take a bus from one exit to another. A bus ticket (including 2 rides) costs 4 lei (about 75 Eurocents). Tickets have to be validated by using the punchers on the bus. === North towards [[Dej]] , Ucraine {{European Route Number|576}} ===
* '''Option 1''' You need to get to Sigma Center, in the ''Zorilor'' neighborhood, you can also look for the universitat techina. (the bus station is called ''Observatorului''). You can do this by taking any of the buses '''35, 43, 43B, 46, 46B or 50''' (these cover most of the city, but if you can't find a stop for one of them, ask around). It's best to ask someone how to get to ''Zorilor'', so you know in which direction to get on the bus.* After you get off the bus, you should see a large round-about, close to the Sigma Center buildings. The hitchhiking spot is a bit uphill from that.'''Related map'''* [http://www.liftershalte.info/?lat=46.75538337689141&lng=23.596047163009644&zoom=18&trip=0&view=2 Exiting South] '''Option 2''' Take f.e. bus 40, 40S or M16 to the station "Drum Faget". There is a roundabout with directions Bucureşti or Făget right after the bu's stop, so you can easily find a ride south from the bus stop.

== Hitching out ==
This direction is good for northern Transylvania and going northeast into the province of Moldavia.
Taking bus 8, 30 or 46B, or trolleybus 4, 6 or 7 east to the stop ''IRA'' / ''Atlas'' (in the ''Mărăşti'' neighbourhood) After you get off the bus, you should see a bridge going up over the railroad tracks. You can hitchhike from the start of the bridge (near where some taxi drivers are typically hanging around).

You need to get to ''Node N'', a large clover-leaf intersection in the ''Mănăştur'' neighborhood. You can do this by taking any of the buses/trolley-buses '''9, 24, 29, 52 (to the ''Bucium'' stop)''' or '''1, 6, 25, 43, 43B (to the ''Clãbucet'' stop)''' (these cover most of the city, but if you can't find a stop for one of them, ask around). It's best to ask someone how to get to ''Mănăştur'', so you know in which direction to get on the bus. If you got off at ''Clãbucet'', follow the road, make a right, and you'll be at the ''Bucium'' stop. From the ''Bucium'' stop, follow the road for about 100m. The large clover-leaf intersection should be visible. Make a left at the intersection. Right after it, there's a good hitchhiking spot, and there may be others hitching there.
If you are going to [[Budapest]], make a sign reading "BPBudapest". Because all traffic from the culturally Hungarian regions of eastern Transylvania passes through this spot, many drivers are going straight to Budapest. [[User:CRCulver|CRCulver]] typically gets a lift to Budapest with under 2 minutes waiting time by using a sign. == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki ==
