=== East towards [[Poltava]], [[Kharkiv]] ===
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 (close to the motorway sign), put your backpack in front of you and use the thumb gesture or a sign. Cost to get there: 2 UAH (1 metro token, which is about EUR 0.1619) <!--Last verified: May 2013-->
'''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.
