I've been thinking for a while now that the hitchability system as it is is no good. How did the hitchability of countries get determined in the first place? I have a different opinion to what the article says quite a lot of times, but I'm not going to go and just change it - and I think a lot of people feel the same. What I'd propose is a system where every user can give a rating on the 1-5 scale and the average will be displayed. I don't think this would be very hard to do technically. Any opinions?--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] 22:49, 31 August 2011 (CEST) | I've been thinking for a while now that the hitchability system as it is is no good.

I guess we still have to change the colors (from green to red) and add some more shades to it (MrTweek?). I would find it amazing to have then a little graphic on the startpage (even though the data is far from being able to be generalized)... --Alex 10:56, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- better? :) Feel free to propose other color codes --MrTweek 14:27, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, better. However, I would suggest to use for the medium countries a lighter green (e.g. #99FF66) and for the hard ones a light red (e.g. #FF6666). Do you think it might be possible to create a striped color effect between different colors (e.g. the usa in green-red striped)? Thanks. --Alex 13:17, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Turkey
I found Turkey to be one of the best countries for hitchhiking. :) guaka 13:49, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yes. Feel free to add you experiences on Hitchability. --Alex 13:17, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Me too! I think turkey is one of the best counry to hitch hike, at least in the country side. its impossible to walk because every car stops to pick u up even if you didn't raisse your thumb
