== Hitchhiking out ==
=== West towards [[GrodnoHrodna]], [[Vilnius]] ===* Option 1: Take Metro (2nd (red) line ''Avtozavodskaya Aŭtazavodskaja linija'' (''Аўтазаводская лінія'')) to the last station ''Kamennaya Kamiennaja Horka'' (''Каменная горка''), get off, walk 50m (direction west) and hitch right from the bus stop. * Option 2: Take Metro (2nd (red) line ''Avtozavodskaya Aŭtazavodskaja linija'') to ''Kamennaya Kamiennaja Horka'', get off and go west towards M9 (~2km). The spot is right after on-ramp from M9 to M6.
=== East, Southeast towards [[MahileuMahilioŭ]], [[Babrujsk]], [[Homel'Homiel]] ===Take Metro (2nd (red) line ''Avtozavodskaya Aŭtazavodskaja linija'') to ''Mahileuskaya'Mahilioŭskaja'("Магілёўская") station, then take a bus #112 to ''Sokal'' get off at the junction with M1. You can try hitching just after the junction or walk 1.5 km towards junction of M4 (towards [[MahileuMahilioŭ]]) and M5 (towards [[Homel'Homiel]]) roads.
Alternatively, you can take bus #93 from the same station and get off right after it turns off from the motorway, walk a few hundred metres in the same direction with the traffic to the closest bus stop on the motorway to start hitchhiking from there.
=== East towards [[BarysauBarysaŭ]], [[Moscow]], [[Russia]] ===* Option 1 (night-time): take Metro (1st line(blueline "Maskoŭskaja linija")) to ''UruchchaUručča'' ("Уручча") station, then get the bus #15, #99, #263 to ''9-yj kilometry kilamietr'' station("9-ы кіламетр") stop, get out and walk 0.5km NE along the road. The spot is right after junction.
* Option 2 (day-time): take Metro (2nd (red) line ''Avtozavodskaya linija'') to ''MahileuskayaMahilioŭskaja''("Магілёўская") station, then take a bus #512 to ''Sokal'' get off at the turn from M1 to ''Sokal''. Spot is right after this crossroad.
An alternative is to take any public transport going to the airport of Minsk. It is outside the city on the road to Moscow. If you let yourself drop on the last turn before the airport, you are on a perfect spot and direct lifts to Moscow are not uncommon.
Or you can also take the bus #120 from metro station ''Instytut Kultury'' ("Інстытут культуры") (1st (blue) line) to ''Mikrarajon Malinaŭka-9'' (''Мікрараён Малінаўка-9'') stop and then cross the junction and walk 300m SW.
The fastest option is to take Marshrutka #1155, #1112 from the ''MoskovskayaMaskoŭskaja'' stop (near the metro station ''Instytut Kultury'') to the ''Fakultet RadiofizikiRadyjofiziki'' (''Факультет РадиофизикиФакультэт Радыёфізікі'') stop and walk ~300m W and cross the road.
