=== Northeast towards [[Chernihiv]], [[Belarus]], [[Moscow]] ([[Russia]]) ===
Take the metro to ''ChernigovskayaChernihivska'' (ЧерниговскаяЧернігівська). Out of the station, walk down 200m to the ''Brovarski Brovarskyi Prospekt'' (броварски Броварський проспект). You'll most likely see locals hitchhiking there already, just walk a bit further up the road to find a convenient spot. The first car should bring you to the next ГАИ (GAI) police post. Do not accept any rides to the city of Бровари (Brovari), as there will be no useful spots to hitchhike along the road. Best is to catch rides only towards Семполки (Sempolki) or Калита (Kalita), there you'll find a GAI post as well. If hitchhiking towards Russia, get off at the eastward junction after 100km. There, it's easy to hitch further rides towards Russia.
=== East towards [[Poltava]], [[Kharkiv]], [[Sumy]] ===Take the metro to ''Boryspilska'' (БОРИСПIЛЬСЬКА) station (the second last on the green line). There you find a huge roundabout - walk around the roundabout until you see the turn off to [[Kharkiv]] (XAPKIB). Walk down the road, and you'll probably see a lot of people also hitching there (there were around 40 last time some anonymous hitchhiker did it in the middle of winter); walk to the end of the queue and try to look like you're going a long distance - most people will only be going 30 or 40 km . Try to look different. You can stand a little bit further (having close to the motorway sign), put your backpack in front of you and use the thumb gesture or a conspicuous backpack helps)sign. Cost to get there: 2 4 UAH (1 metro token, which is about EUR 0.1615) <!--Last verified: Nov 2009Aug 2016-->
'''Alternative:''' From Kharkivska district, use marshrutka #317a to Borispil. Stay on the marshrutka until the last stop (at the end of the city). From there, you can walk 2km more to the crossroad where road P08 (transit road around Kyiv, especially for trucks) crosses. Behind it, you should find a nice spot to Poltava or Kharkiv. '''Towards [[Sumy]]:'''From the metro LISOVA take marshrutka #327 towards DYMYTROVE (driving through BROVARY). (Better check with the driver if he's driving to DYMYTROVE directly.) Get off at the last stop. Walk eastwards across the bridge over the E95 highway. Stand here [http://goo.gl/maps/0KyL4 at point B]. === South-East towards [[DnepropetrovskDnipropetrovsk]] (M04) ===
Take the metro to ''Vydubychi'' (ВИДУБИЧІ) station (green line) and walk to the car market. Try hitchhiking there. Cost to get there: 2 UAH <!--Last verified: Nov 2009-->
=== West towards [[Lviv]], southwest towards [[Chernivtsi]] (M06) ===
Take the metro to the station ''Zhytomyrska'' (Житомирська, the second to last stop on the red line). From there walk west along the street ''Peremogi prospekt'' (Перемоги проспект) until you cross the bridge over the ring road. You can hitch from the bus stop right after the bridge. Attention: Girls be careful, in the evening there are prostitutes working, so tell to the driver that you are hitchhiking immediately!This spot is really busy with local buses and people who can pick you up for money. You can as well, walk 5 more minutes, until the road is uphill, and hitch from here. Here, all the traffic is heading west as well.
Hitchiking from here can take some time, as there is also a lot of local traffic, so in case you´re standing here for too long, take a marshrutka direction Zhytomyr, and hop off at the next village called Dmytrivka. Then you're already along the motorway where most traffic goes long-distance. In addition to that, the bus stop is quite spacious, so trucks can more easily stop here than at the Zhytomyrska spot.
=== South towards [[Odessa|Odesa]] (M05) ===
Get the metro ''LybidskaTeremky'' (ЛИБІДСЬКАТЕРЕМКИ) station (last one on blue line). When getting out of the metro, walk up the stairs and walk to the right. Follow the ''tunnel'' for 250 m Walk 700 m southwest and go up the stairs there to the left. You might see the road to the left and little shops to the right. Walk this way up for 250–300 m until you see the bus stop (see picture) for trolleybus number 2 or 43. Take the trolleybus until the last stop ''Kibcentr'' (КІБЦЕНТР). There you'll find a police post, you can just hitchhike behind this post as there is a large area for cars to stop. There is traffic light before it so make sure drivers can see you while waiting for green light. But take care, drivers tend to use the parking lane to overtake slow traffic along the road! Also sometimes truck drivers park there for few hours.  Alternativly you can take a train to Bila Tserkva (less than 1€ for a ticket) which is ~100km south of Kiev, get off at the last stop and you will be right by the highway to Odessa and have a nice forest near just in case you want to camp for the night. Tried this on the summer of 2018. Stadas  == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
