A FB group to look for travel companions (not only hitchhikers).

Transport

Hitchhiking in Poland is definitely easy, fast and generally accepted by almost any kind of people since there is an old and deeply rooted hitchhiking culture throughout the whole country. Poland also has some of the most active hitchhiking clubs and competitions in the world.

Local urban transport is generally affordable even if it tends to become more and more expensive year after year.

A FB group for bus and truck drivers might be useful.
