“Nobody stopped for us here. Walk a bit further to the petrol station, but even there you will probably have to wait a long time as everybody was from the city and just there to get gas. After 1 hour our first group of two got a ride to the next gas station and the second group of two got a ride after 1,5 hours, also to the next gas station”

“I was there in the very morning in tuesday, and it was getting crowded in few moments. Really many hitchhikers and no one was stopping. After almost 3h a van stopped and took five hitchikers to different gas stations.”
