You must go to Letňanská (e.g. bus 186 or 233 from Palmovka). Then going down from the bus, you can see the entrance of the motorway straight ahead. Put yourself so you have the motorway on your right, then cross the street (going north then), and then the parkings, and go behing the buildings, looking for a small bridge (“most” in czech), going above the motorway. From there you will see the petrol station. There are not so many people stopping there, but they all are (almost) going in the good direction. Just ask if they are going north (“sever”) or if they can just let you on the next petrol station (“příští pumpa”/“prschieschtee pumpa”), where there will be normally more cars.
==== Second opinion option ====
You need to get to the first big petrol station OMV with McDonalds on D8(E55). From “metro Letňany” take bus (166, 233, 140, 210) to the stop “Obchodní centrum Čakovice”. Then on the other side of the road take bus (202) and ride one stop to “Na Lukách” or you can walk there for 10 minutes. The bus stop “Na Lukách” is very close to D8(E55) motorway and the petrol station you need. From that petrol station you can hitch-hike to Dresden directly or to the last petrol station OMV before Lovosice. The hitch-hiking position there is also good.

From metro Zlicin (line B, yellow), take bus nr 380 or 308 to Rudna. From the village it's about 5-10 min walking to the petrol station. Avoid going into Plzen or getting dropped off on the bypass. It's better to try to find a direct ride to [[Germany]] from the last petrol station before Plzen.
Another option is to take a tram to ''Motol'', that's where the motorway link starts. Not a perfect place, but cars are not too fast and there are quite a lot of Germans passing.

==== Second opinion option ====
Use the petrol station, it is a good place, easier to reach and you'll get rides quickly. From metro Opatov (line C, red) climb the steps to the motorway. Look on the bus stop timetables for the stop “K Sukovu” on route 324, 363 or 385 (you are going south, the buses should leave every 15 minutes, and you can use the same ticket that you got on the metro). Get to K Sukovu – you'll know you're there when you see the petrol station to your right. From K Sukovu the petrol station is a 150 m walk over the motorway bridge.
