Editing Hitchhiking (section)

===Poland===
Hitchhiking in [[People's Republic of Poland|Poland]] has a long history and is still popular. It was legalised and formalised  in 1957 so hitchhikers could buy booklets including coupons from travel agencies.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.autostopem.net/g-12-ksiazeczki_autostopu_78__81.html| title = booklets| access-date = 20 October 2012| archive-date = 10 July 2010| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100710111111/http://www.autostopem.net/g-12-ksiazeczki_autostopu_78__81.html| url-status = usurped}}</ref> These coupons were given to drivers who took hitchhikers. By the end of each season drivers who collected the highest number of coupons could exchange them for prizes, and others took part in a lottery. This so-called "Akcja Autostop" was popular till the end of the 1970s, but the sale of the booklet was discontinued in 1995.<ref>Jakub Czupryński (red.), "Autostop polski.
