It's a little difficult hitching out of Dunedin because on the way out of the city there aren't any good places to catch a ride (as there are no places for cars to pull over). Also most of the traffic in the city area isn't likely to be going very far. The trick is to get out of the main city area and on to the state highways where there's lots of space for a driver to see you and pull over to pick you up. You could take a taxi to get out of the city but it'll cost between $20-30 dollars (which would be more than half the bus fair to get to whichever city you're heading towards.
