“It is really good place if you want to go to Croatia(aka. Zagreb). We were waiting for 10 -15 minutes, but before the petrol station, in fact between petrol station and the restaurant in the beginning of it. We were three girls, without some special mark or sign.”

“Good place, but last time I waited 50 mins with no success (to Vienna). Police asked me to stand behind the guradlane. Later I tried at the entrance of the petrol station for 40 mins, then I got my driver while asking at the lane next to the petrol station, as stuff asked me not to go around the station.”

“Lot's of traffic on the highway - drivers have enough place to stop on the exit lane of the McD and gas station. Was standing at the exit, trying to stop cars on the highway. Used a sign (Györ, but my final destination was Vienna) and got a ride within five minutes to a rest area 80 kilometres along the M1, from where it was relatively easy to catch another ride. Btw: Metro 4 goes Train station Ke”
