Hitchhiking out

East towards Patzcuaro, Morelia

From the city center, take a local bus towards Caltzontzin (it's written Caltzontzin on the front window of the bus). Ask the driver to drop you off at the last gas station ("la última gasolinera" in Spanish).

When you get off the bus, walk east 100m and you'll indeed see a gas station, which is pretty small. But this one is NOT the furthest one, just walk 400m more east and you'll see another one, bigger and with many more cars.

From this gasolinera ask a ride for the toll booth (14km east), "la siguiente caseta" in Spanish. If your ride isn't going further then get down at the toll booth and it's fairly easy to get another ride from there too.

South towards [[Lazaro Cardenas]], [[Zihuatanejo]], [[Pacific coast]]

From the central bus station, take the bus to the town of Taretan (30 MXN as of 2022 march). Ask the driver to drop you of at the casseta the cobro of Taretan when the bus turns from the highway. From there you should have no problem hitching a ride south. I've tried this and got a ride all the way to Zihuatanejo in 20 minutes.
