=== North, West towards [[Hisarya]], [[Karlovo]], [[A1 (Bulgaria)|A1]] ([[Sofia]], [[Burgas]]) ===
Take the mini bus #5 towards ''Trud''. This one is driving out of town direction north. If you're coming more and more into a rural area, you'll recognize the motorway in front of you. Scream ''stop'' (''spri'' in Bulgarian) to the bus driver to let you out (or ask him in advance to stop under the highway (avtomagistrala) near the ramp if you want to go east- or westwards. Even though it's not a great spot it's the best one. For going more north, wait until the bus enters the not-so-nice village of ''Trud''. You'll find an old factory to your left. Get out of the mini bus when he leaves the main road. From there, walk some 100 meters north until end of town. There you'll find a petrol station. That's your spot for getting rides towards [[Karlovo]] or [[Hisarya]].
It seems that the road through boulevard Vasil Aprilov (бул. Васил Априлов) is more common for drivers who goes to Sofia. Take the bus 20 (it stops somewhere in the center) or buses 11, 92, 113 (have no idea where they stops but each bus stop in Plovdiv has public transport route map, so you easily check there). Get off on the last stop for bus 20 and somewhere on the road for other buses where you'll see good position.
Be careful at night on this road because Sheker mahalla (Шекер махалла) is a roma neighborhood.
Another option towards [[Burgas]], [[Varna]]
