Good for loca rides to Bochum, Essen, Gelsenkirchen...Senseless for further destinations. Therefore you better walk to the Sozialakademie which is 1 km to the east.

On ramp to the ring around Bochum (which is about to be turned into a highway). Not ideal to stop but it is possible and it does happen. Most drivers don't go far but they might take you to some gas station, for example Beverbach at A40 on the way to Dortmund.―Anonymous, March 2016

haven't seen or even searched for the place mentioned above.this place here really is not a good choice: cars can hardly stop or speeding up. wanted to go up north to hamburg, decliend to lifts to bochum and got lucky with the 3rd car that stopped. try to get on the A1 somehow, if you wanna go really north. cologne, i guess, is easy also from this spot.

I found an elderly couple driving to Velbert which is south of Bochum so they could drop me off at A40 -Bochum Zentrum from where you can walk /take the Subway to Bochum HBF.Works in the region from Dortmund to Düsseldorf (VRR).
Students can take you on their ticket on weekends or after 7PM
