Good place to hitchhike south, at least short distances. Cars go very slowly in the heavy traffic and there's some shelter under the bus stop.rating: 4/5, wait: 3 min ๐, ride: 4 km โ

We stood about 3 minutes on the bus stop, the first car wanted the money but suddenly a queue of cars started to make because everyone wanted to helped us ๐ the next guy who took us went with us to the next town, invited us for dinner, showed us around his city and took us to the park. Then dropped at the hotelrating: 5/5, wait: 3 min ๐, ride: 34 km โ

Was super late at night and was walking to camp but a car saw me and took me to KL. Pretty sure there is a solid spot for hitching where the service road meets the petrol outlet before the highway. (Marker) not sure about shade.rating: 4/5, wait: 2 min, ride: 364 km โ

Super good spot. Tree for shade, cars moving slow as they rejoin before going to the highway, had a Melaka sign and got a truck in less than a minute (4th vehicle)rating: 5/5, wait: 1 min ๐ชง, ride: 124 km โ

Really good spot as the road coming out of the border checkpoint is a bit dodgy so people have to slow down. Space for them to stop in the taxi rank. Most trucks will turn left to the industrial estate at the first intersection so go for cars. Was here late in the evening but donโt think there would be shade.I got unlucky I think as there wasnโt much traffic. Be careful and donโt get stuck as the border shuts from 11pm to 5am (Thai time)

I only waited 5 minutes by standing near the toll station where the cars slow down. It took me just 5 minutes to find a ride to Melaka.If hitchhiking there feels too risky, you could try walking along the bike path on the left to reach the gas station behind the toll.

If you take the bus over to Malaysia from Singapore you can walk east out of the Bus Station and find the road that leads to the freeway towards KL. I have hitched here twice in recent years and both times i got a lift very fast - like most places in Malaysia ;)โFalcor, July 2016

Very good spot, from Singapore to Malaysia. Go walking through the check point, pass the various border guards telling them you will be picked up a little bit further by a friend (they would not let you pass if you say you're hitchhiking), walk till the middle of the bridge after a little house, here it is!
