== Hitchhiking out ==
 
=== North towards [[Tulcan]], [[Colombia]] ===
Get a bus from the Carcelen-Terminal in the very north heading towards [[Cayambe]], [[Otavalo]], [[Ibarra]], or [[Tulcan]]. Get out at the first "peáje"([[Tolltoll-Station]])station. The bus will take 15min. (If you take one of the buses from the terminal heading to a city further north, they'll charge at least $1, but if you walk about 1km down the road to the bridge, you can get a local bus for $.35, as of March 2015.) There you can easily ask for lifts going north. 
=== North-West towards La Mitts del Mundo, [[Mindo]] ===
=== South towards [[Ambato]], [[Cuenca]], [[Loja]], [[Guayaquil]], [[Peru]]===
 
There are two options:
* Get the trole-bus to the '''Quitumbe-Terminal''' in the very south, from there catch any bus in direction south and get out at any point of the Panamericana. The first "peáje" ist quite far ($0,75), so it is probably better to get out before (for example in Tumbillo, there is a gas station).
* Go to '''El trebol''' (big junction near "La Marin" in the center, final station of the Ecovia-bus). From there catch a bus in direction Tumbillo/Machachi and get out in Tumbillo (~$0,50). There is a gas station nearby.
 
== Public transportation ==
=== Blackriding ===
The turnstiles at the exits of the stations for the rapid transit buses seem to often not lock (maybe the couple I tried were just broken) so you can just walk in the exit. There do not appear to be ticket controls on the buses.
== Personal Experiences ==:Get the trole-bus to the '''Quitumbe-Terminal''I arrived ' in the very late at nightsouth, from there catch any bus in direction south and this was get out at any point of the Panamericana. The first time I got a ride without asking "peáje" ist quite far, so it is probably better to get out before (for one. The cops pulled over and asked me what the hell I was doin walking example in that neighborhood and was I crazy? They gave me Tumbillo, there is a ride to my friend's placegas station).'' -[[User:Chael777|Chael777]]
:Go to '''El trebol''Going south from Quito' (big junction near "La Marin" in the center, I arrived to final station of the terminal QuitumbeEcovia-bus). There is possible to take From there catch a bus to Tumbillo for 0,5 USD which is on Panamericana. But I walked in the direction of Panamericana by Avenida Mariscal Sucre Tumbillo/Machachi and started to hitch there, it took me 3 cars (including one lift from a taxi) and a bit more than 1 hour to get to out in Tumbillo, where was . There is a good spot to hitch further'' -[[User:che.apelsin|chegas station nearby.apelsin]]
