position is right after T-liked crossroads while cars are very slow. Sometimes position is crowded by locals, so walk a bit forward. Taraz, Shymkent, Karaganda direction.siberian_explorer

here you could take a bus to KaraBalta or Sosnovka's turn because h-hiking here almost senceless. 50 soms~1USD(2010) will save many hours of waitingsiberian_explorer

There are many taxis and minibuses going in this direction. Although the minibus is cheap, almost all cars go to Bishkek. You may try your chance and wait for one. Explain the driver that you are HHing, not carpooling.―Canaydemir

There might be more taxis than private cars passing, but it was still pretty easy to get a direct ride to Almaty.―Kidp3

Exellent and cheap way to escape Bishkek. Lots of buses from Alamedin market for 15 soms. Traffic light makes cars slow and more friendly.―Anonymous

Good spot to hitchhike to Ala archa mountains. If you're short on time just take a bus towards Baytik (30 som, around 0.3 euro). From there is really easy.―Anonymous

Not great. I ended up explaining my situation to a shared taxi driver (kapusta pusta - the cabbage ist empty aka I got no money) and he took me up the road. Maybe it's better to pay for the short ride and go from there.―GermanyToIndia
