Hitching out
East and south towards Dublin and Limerick, Cork
- Option 1
From railway and bus station go right till you get to Frenchville Ln., turn right and go down the road near Radisson Hotel. At the end of the road turn left to Lough Atalia Rd., which is inner city bypass. You will see rail bridge on the right. You can hitch just behind the junction. There's traffic jam quite often. It's about 3 minutes walk.
- Option 2
Go to the Skerritt roundabout by the GMIT College. There is space after the roundabout to hitch a lift. Bus no. 2 goes in this direction.
- Option 3
Go to the Morris roundabout which is beside the dual carriageway (N6). There is space after the roundabout to hitch a lift and even a petrol station to ask drivers for assistance. Bus no. 3 goes in this direction.
West towards Connemara, Aran Islands ferry terminal in Rossaveel
If you're feeling lazy, catch bus no. 1 from Eyre Square - stay on the bus going through Salthill and get off once the bus turns off the coach road. From here it's about 5 minutes walk to where the bypass meets the old coach road, which is the ideal spot for hitching. If you're lucky, you'll get a lift before you even get there.
Northeast towards Tuam, Sligo, Derry
Go to the Fonthill roundabout which is beside N17/Tuam Road. There is space after the roundabout to hitch a lift. Bus number 8 goes in this direction.
North towards Castlebar, Westport
Go to the Kirwan roundabout which is beside N84/Headford Road. There is space after the roundabout to hitch a lift. Bus no. 7 goes in this direction.
Northwest towards Clifden
Get bus number 5 as far up the Upper Newcastle Road as it goes, get out and walk hitching to the same spot after the traffic lights. There is plenty of space for vehicles to pull over and help you.
