hitchiking in METU

it was my first experience of hitchhiking in METU.i and my friends Elif,Nihan,Samet were heading for the ring bus stop and we all were so tired after a EDS200 lesson of 3 hours.at that time ,getting on a very crowded ring and standing hardly on it under the risk of losing your balance seemed very odd .we decided to hitchhike.elif is experienced on this issue and when she raises her hand ,drivers suddenly stop.she raised her hand again and a nice car stoped and the driver let us in it.it felt so right because we were just sitting and were at Çarsi in five minutes.now,i can say that hitchiking on Metu is really safe.it was a nice experience.
