Hitchhiking (also called lifting, thumbing or hitching, Thumb up a ride) is a form of transport, in which the traveller tries to get a lift (ride) from another traveller, usually a car or truck driver or occasionally even a motorcycle driver. Hitchhiking is also called by the French term autostop, especially in Europe.
The distance covered may vary from a short distance that could also be walked, to a long journey involving many rides. Those who choose to hitchhike usually do so for one or more of three reasons: necessity (limited or no funds, no transportation, missed a bus or train, stalled or broken vehicle, accident, etc.), environmental efficiency (re-using rides rather than creating new ones), or adventure (serendipitous travel, meet new and unexpected people).
