Great spot. I took a shared taxi (dolmuş) from Ulus in Ankara. Ask the shops where it is. You need to say ‚dolmuş mamak autoban‘ as there are two different ones to mamak. It went at 10am so ig I goes every hour? The spot is right after a traffic lights with very heavy traffic.―GermanyToIndia

Direction: EskişehirCars go a bit fast, but the traffic shouldn't be local anymore.
To get there, take metro to Koru, then one of the buses suggested by Google Maps, they can get you right to the spot. As of 2025 you have to have a special card for Ankara public transportation. The two tickets cost 50TL, the card 100TL, but you can use one for more than one person.

This road is the main direction through Konya and Cappadocia. There are good spots on the road, but i prefer gas station exits.―Anonymous

A good place to go west direction from Ankara. The cities you can find a ride are : EskiÅŸehir, Bursa or Ä°zmir. There are newly built Gas Stations in here, and enough space for cars and trucks to stop.―Anonymous

Going to "Gölbaşı" with a dolmuş (the next town) is also a good option.―Xavierallard

Don't think this is a good spot for hitching towards Istanbul. You are right on the highway (not straight here either!) and cars go very fast. It seems most cars are just using the ring road, but not leaving town. I had three different lifts just to get towards the toll station. Very tricky. It's probably better starting in Susuz (north of Ankara) - but couldn't find information on how to get there. Btw: the dolmuş to "Yaşamkent" (45 minutes at least) leaves from the west side of Güvenpark, which is close to Kizilay metro station. Couldn't find bus 123, which is mentioned on the Ankara page.―Tomtom

I tried my luck on the fuel station and got a lift to another fuel station in Golbasi after 20 minutes.―Rozwal
