“Got a ride easily going North, held a sign, and asked people nicely as they went in to pay for petrol.”

“Awesome spot, I've been trying hard somewhere else, I got here at 7pm, walking from the station, you don't need a bus (15min), I asked to the first guy filling his car, I got the ride, 20sec, maybe also luck, it depends also from how many cars are there, I guess in summertime works at the best, I was there in the wintery february”

“We were standing on the entrance to gas station with a board "Amsterdam" and we got a lift after 10 min to the airport (from there you can go to the city centre by bus for 4 euros)”

“Today (15.03.) tried to catch on the entrance to the petrol station - got a direct lift to Amsterdam after 5 minutes. Great spot, drivers can stop even if they didn't want to go to the petrol station. Also it's a reasonable distance to walk from the city centre.”
