We were theee people. Some drivers wanted money. "Kapusta pusta" (cabbage is empty) helped and we got a lift for free.―Anonymous

We were two people and one bicycle hitching to Almaty. As soon as we were waiting at the street there where cars and truck stopping. A friendly truckdriver took us with all our bags and bicycle. He was super friendly!―Anonymous

As carpooling is common in Kazakhstan, don't forget to explain the driver that you are HHing and not going to pay for the ride.―Canaydemir

looks like this is not bad position to start hitching to north direction, but in fact it's crowded by taxists and locals, I stood 1 hour and got nothing. but it's easy to get from Altyn-Orda bazaar (western enter of city) on 303 bus to busstop Promkombinat.―Anonymous

Good traffic and a lot of cars stop for us, but most of them asked for money. When we said "no money" they passed through. It took about an hour to move from this place and it was, I think, the twenty-fifth car who agreed to go without paying money.―Anonymous

Just by the seti entrance arch. With thumb, in rain, getting dark. After a few rejections a driver stopped. ItI was in a hurry so happy to pay, and I had been told the rate was 5000 (10 Euro) so offered him that. He accepted but said it was small. At the end of the ride a kazakh hitchhiker paid him 2000 ( they gave him 5000 and he gave 3000 Change. Either him saying my payment was small was sarcasm, or it's the usual ripoff for tourists. Still dngaf. Zero English and it was rainy af.
