== Hitchhiking out ==
=== Northwest towards [[Jihlava]], [[Praha]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|65}} ===
Find trolley-bus 25, 26 or 29 and get off at stop "Čtvrtě". From the bridge you can see big road to Prague. Go down and after 200 m there is smaller petrol station. Next to it is great place to hitchhike just a few metres from pump machines where you can ask people. Unfortunately on this lane often parks some truck or two so you can only hitchhike cars leaving station or ask.
This spot is quickly and easily accessible from various parts of Brno and hitchhiking quite good.
''[[User:Kundrt|Kundrt]] got lifts from this place three times in ~5 minutes, once in 25 minutes and once stuck there with two other hitchhikers and decided to move to another spot.''
==== Second option ====
15 minutes walk from stop "Osová" - trams 6, 8 or trolley-buses 25, 29 (terminus). From tram stop go up to the bridge. From trolley-buses loop go over the bridge. There is bus stop, you can take bus 69 to stop "Čermákova" or continue this wide road 400 m to the end - crossroad with new houses behind. You can already see the motorway and petrol station. But turn right. After 350 m you are at the bus stop "Čermákova". Turn left (street Čermákova) and at the end you can see small tunnel under motorway. Just before tunnel on the left you can go up and after 300 m you are at OMV petrol station. In winter could be hard to get there.
This station is bigger than the one at first option, little bit harder to access, good hitchability.
''[[User:Kundrt|Kundrt]] got lifts from this place two times in around 15 minutes.''
==== Third option ====
Small petrol station OMV on the motorway near Bosonohy - almost without cars. To Bosonohy, bus stop "Hoštická" you can get by bus 69 (from Masaryk's University campus, or trams 6, 8 stop "Dunajská"). Then go little bit back to the main road and right. After 1,5 km you will see that station. Or from "Dunajská" you can go by bus 401 or 402 (you have to pay the driver; once an hour) to request stop "Tranzitní plynovod". Just few metres back and right is that petrol station.
Nonsense to go here from Brno city. It was pure luck to get lift in 5 minutes. Getting there takes more time than average waiting time in 1st or 2nd spot.
==== Fourth option ====
Bigger petrol station Shell on the motorway near Popůvky. 3 km after Third option. Take bus 401 or 402 (↑↑) to stop "Popůvky - Vintrovna". Continue on the main road 850 m and there is the spot. You can also walk & hitchhike to this place from Bosnohy.
There is some traffic, but again it's a bit pointless to go here from Brno.
=== South towards [[Bratislava]], [[Budapest]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|2}}{{E|65}} ===
Take bus number 67, or the free "Avion bus" (it goes from 9am till 10pm every 20/30 minute) that starts on the bus stop "Uzka", and get off at the commercial zone “Avion”. There is a petrol station (where you can shower and even sleep) along the motorway which is going to [[Slovakia]]. It's a big commercial zone with big shops. One of them has free internet access, it's the electrical shop before Ikea.
This isn't the great spot, but there just isn't any better, so don't expect any miracles. I would say that average waiting time is close to 2 hours and there's always a lot of local traffic near this mall.
=== South towards [[Vienna]] {{National Road Number Czech Republic|R 52}}{{E|461}} ===
You can also take the trolleybus number 33 from the railway station (Hlavní nádraží) to the station Langrova (it takes 13 minutes). Cross the street and go up the street Slavkovská, after two minutes you come to a main road which you also cross and continue on a footpath straight for another 50 meters to a petrol station which already lies on a highway.
==Hitchhiking in === West towards == From [[Jihlava]], [[PrahaPrague]] {{Motorway Number Czech Republic|1}}{{E|50}}{{E|65}} === From railroad station take tram 8 or 10 and go If your driver is not going to the station “Osová” (from other places city but continues this motorway you can take other tramstell him to go to Vienna exit, which came to this stationabout 150 m turn right (first possibility). There change for bus number 401 or 402 and go to the station “Popůvky - Vintrovna”back on smaller road. Don't worry that you're out of the city. When The road then leads under big Vídeňská street, you can get off from the bus, there and go about 500 m in the bus' direction and you will see the petrol station. '''Note:''' Maybe buses have changed their route, but on 30th April 2010 I hitchhiked from Brno up to Praha and Osova is not the correct station to tram stop at. Next one is And driver continues to the correct one, "Dunajská". '''Note 2:''' Until October due roundabout and can easily get back to reconstruction works the tram lines are changedD1 in his direction. Indeed, you have to go to Dunajska stop or even to Stary Liskovec (last stopAbout 1 km longer for driver in total.). Now you can get there with tram 12, 13 or 7.
If driver goes in direction Vienna or Bratislava it'''Note 3:''' We tried s quite clear where to find the gas station mentioned above, but you shouldnt get off at Popuvky/Vitrovna but '''before''' that. Take bus 402 and get off when you see an Agip and OSV gas station. Walk down a small path to the gas station and start asking.
