===North===Take a bus to the neighborhood of Carcelén. From there, you can walk east to reach the avenue Simon Bolívar. Start hitchhiking there, as there is several good spots at the roundabouts.
In direction north: Get a bus from the "Carcelen"-Terminal in the very north heading ether to Cayambe/Otavalo/Ibarra/Tulcan. Get out at the first "peáje"(Toll-Station). The bus will need 15min., $0,25. There you can easily ask for lifts in direction north.
In direction south: If youre in the centre, there are two possibilities. == Public transportation ===== Blackriding ===* Get the trole-bus to the "Quitumbe"-Terminal in The turnstiles at the very south, from there catch any bus in direction south and get out at any point exits of the Panamericana. The first "peáje" ist quite far ($0,75), so it is probably better to get out before (stations for example in Tumbillo, there is a gas station).* Go the rapid transit buses seem to "El trebol" often not lock (big junction near "La Marin" in the center, final station of maybe the Ecovia-buscouple I tried were just broken). From there catch a bus so you can just walk in direction Tumbillo/Machachi and get out in Tumbillo (~$0,50)the exit. There is a gas station nearbydo not appear to be ticket controls on the buses.

Get out at the first "peáje"([[Toll-Station]]). The bus will take 15min. (If you take one of the buses from the terminal heading to a city further north, they'll charge at least $1, but if you walk about 1km down the road to the bridge, you can get a local bus for $.35, as of March 2015.) There you can easily ask for lifts going north. === North-West towards La Mitts del Mundo, [[Mindo]] ===

From there catch a bus in direction Tumbillo/Machachi and get out in Tumbillo (~$0,50). There is a gas station nearby.
== Personal Experiences ==
:''I arrived very late at night, and this was the first time I got a ride without asking for one. The cops pulled over and asked me what the hell I was doin walking in that neighborhood and was I crazy? They gave me a ride to my friend's place.'' -[[User:Chael777|Chael777]]
:''Going south from Quito, I arrived to the terminal Quitumbe. There is possible to take a bus to Tumbillo for 0,5 USD which is on Panamericana. But I walked in the direction of Panamericana by Avenida Mariscal Sucre and started to hitch there, it took me 3 cars (including one lift from a taxi) and a bit more than 1 hour to get to Tumbillo, where was a good spot to hitch further'' -[[User:che.apelsin|che.apelsin]]
:''Got the bus to Tumbillo and talked to people at the petrol station, easy to hitchhike'' - [[User:HoboSpirit|HoboSpirit]]
