It is a perfect spot to get a ride to the [[A5 (Germany)|Autobahn A5]] (for instance to the rest area "Wetterau").
'''2nd option ([[Rest area]] Gräfenhausen - in the south of Frankfurt)''': Take suburban train (S-Bahn) S3 (indicating: [[Darmstadt]]) to the stop "Erzhausen", leave the station and walk through the town Erzhausen on "Bahnstraße" and "Hauptstraße" westward until you can hear the [[A5 (Germany)|Autobahn A5]]. ThenAt some point, cross you will see a sign pointing left to a '''Schützenhaus''', follow this direction, continue straight beyond the fields till clubhouse and you will arrive at the [http://www.serways.de/standorte/standorte/Gr%C3%A4fenhausen%20Ost Rastanlage Gräfenhausen Ost] ([http://g.co/maps/wjg7k Map]). It takes 50 -60 minutes from the city center of Frankfurt until "Rastanlage Gräfenhausen". There is plenty of long distance traffic 24 hours a day at this spot, a restaurant as well as a small supermarket!
'''3rd option'''
I havent tested it myself just have been told by an experienced german hitchhiker.
Take the Metro to KahlbachKalbach, there is a tool-store called "Hornbach" nearby. Close to it there is a petrol station called Hessol, which is close to A5. As it is cheap it is frequently used and you should get a ride from there.
Pls edit if you have further information.
*User trt rode the tram in July 2011 and encountered Controllers. They were easily spotted in white shirts, black pants, and some wore grey vests. They also barely glimpsed at the tickets, so a used ticket could easily pass.
*[[User:Quarim|Quarim]] can confirm this - there are many controllers in Frankfurt public transport and you will be checked often. Even the tricks like buy a ticket for childs under 12 and make the stupid tourist when controleld didn't work for him
*User tawax lives in Frankfurt and took the public transport very often. They are not many controllers in Frankfurt, and some of them are easily to see. You can try to have a ride without a ticket, but be in the front of the train/bus to see if some controllers are coming.
