[2018] The There is a bus going to Cityy Park shopping center but it also stops to Megatec mall which is not free anymorewhere you must drop off. It costs 40 lek (30 cents)if you forget and drop off at city park walk back to the underpass to go to the right direction toward Durres. In Albania cars stop to the highway, but better if you find a suitable spot because it is too dangerous and only minivans and taxis, which ask for money, will stop.If you get off on the Megatec mall, you can walk back to the highway where there's a Gulf gas station nearby

* ''[[User:Rozwal|Rozwal]] while hitchhiking Get to Tirana from Skopje through Struga in November 2011 entered the city from the East next to a to-be-opened East Gate Tirana (TEG) enormous shopping mall (the biggest in Albania). There was a new very big roundabout next to it. It seemed like a very good spot to start hitchhiking as it is at the outskirts of the city. One could try asking people in Tirana or at the tourist information for a bus to this mall. Before someone reported that it is good to take a bus to [[Elbasan]], from where you can start hitching. Personally, I believe there is no reason to go so far with a bus. Good luck!'' -YES, the roundabout is the best spot to start HH toward Elbasan and North Macedonia.*''[[User:tiani-tolkay|tiani-tolkay]] can confirm what Rozwal told.  Opposite to the Clocktower (albanian: Kulla e Sahatit) there is a bus stop from where a free bus to Tirana East Gate leaves every 20 minutes, from 9.00 to 21.00. There is also a paid bus for 40 lek from the same place to TEG. At that roundabout, i got a ride to Elbasan very fast, waiting time was less than 5 minutes. (July 2013)''
