== West towards [[Erzurum]] ==The dolmuş from Kars to Ani goes once per day at around 12pm from Halk Bank.
The problem In June 2015, Marion_and_John hitched from Kars to Ani and back. It took us 5 lifts to get to Ani (cumulated waiting time: 45 minutes) and 1 back to Kars (waiting time:10' at 4pm). Traffic is very light but probability of getting there howevera lift on a given car is large. We stayed with There is a local great area to pitch a tent if you start late: after about 9kms after the intersection of E691 (road Ardahan-Erzurum) and he was able D070 (road to Ani), the road gets to flag down a bus path (1950m). The two hills on the right (south-west side) makes for us going along Davut Aksu Cd in the centre of townscenic camping. Marion_and_John camped at 40°36. Its destination was '''şube şefligi'327'Nx43°19.413' a factory complex on the edge of townE.

The old road In December 2018, tp00080 hitched Kars to Erzurum starts right Ani. I waited just past the last crossroads out of town in the city center, you can walk theredirection of Ani. It's not a main road any moreTraffic was very sparse, I probably waited an hour or so there for my first ride as far as Subotan. There is only a local trafficbus that goes there two, but you can still hitch a even that wouldn't stop for me. Next ride because after soon afterwards went as far as Esenkent. Here traffic is very sparse indeed. As I walked the last 8km from there, probably about 10 cars at most passed, mostly taxis and a few kilometrescouple of coaches. I started hitching at about 9:30 am and arrived at 1pm. To return, a boy at the road passes very close entrance to the main road (you can see ruins told me that I would be able to hitch on the bus parked there. Don't rely on it; they decided that as it) was a private tour, they wouldn't take me. I walked back in the dark and was picked up near Soylu by a taxi full of locals going to Kars who saved me from a cold night of camping. If you are in the same situation, there is a streetlamp at Essenkent where you can just walk 200m over the fieldsstand; Soylu didn't seem to have such luxuries.

== Ani Hitching out ==Quick update === West towards [[Erzurum]] === There are two options for this direction: # The key to hitch- Ihiking out of Kars is to get to the bypass ('''E697 / D965'''m no real hitch) that runs around the south of the city.

FirstTo get there, finding Ani on from the map: itstreet ''s 45 km due east of Kars (Ani didnDavut Aksu Cd't come up in Google Maps for me - it's take a bus in the direction of Subatan).

It's one not a main road out any more, so thereis only local traffic, but you can still hitch a ride because after a few kilometres, so the road passes very close to the main road (you can see it's pretty straight forward - I just walked out of town ) and got picked up pretty quick. Coming back was easy too - you can just don't be walk 200 m over the last one out!fields.
== Hitching out = East towards Ani === Ani is 45 km due east of Kars and located on the Armenian border (which is closed). You can get a lift by walking out of town and thumbing. There are several villages along the way, and a school bus back to Kars on weekdays at 15:00. There are several dolmuşes that pass along this way at that time, mostly taking students and teachers. The cost from Kars to Ani is normally 7.5TL.
==Experience towards Ani = Option 1 ===The key to hitch-hiking out of Kars is to get to the bypass ('''E697 / D965''') that runs around the south of the city. From the corner of '''Erzurum-Kars Karayolu''' and '''A.Gaffar Okkan Blv''' you will have no problem getting a lift.
