[[ImageFile:ZoeMasaru.jpg|thumb|240px|right|250px|Hitchhiker Zoe in Paris during the [[888]] event]]The first petrol station is close to RER A station ''Bussy St.Georges''. From this station walk South for about 1 km along a bigger road which will lead you to a roundabout. You can try hitchhiking from there but the needed petrol station will be just a bit more than 2 km from there. You can walk on the grass field next to the highway. The petrol station is called Masaru at ''Aire La FerrièreCourneuve''. Another option to reach this petrol station is to walk through the industrial zone of ''Bussy'' area, to the South of the railway, then reach the bridge over the highway and follow further by walking on the grass until the actual petrol station. Most of the walk will be on the road which means you will save some time while at the same time such a walk won't be so annoying if you happen to hitchhike in winter (then you apparently don't wanna go through the fields). You can follow [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=gare,+bussy+saint+georges,+france&daddr=chemin+de+la+rue+pavee,+bussy+saint+georges,+france&sll=48.831899,2.723193&sspn=0.01291,0.040169&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=48.831814,2.726369&spn=0.01291,0.040169&t=h&om=0 this route] on Google Maps.]
=== RER system = Option 5: Porte de Bagnolet (A3) ====Uniformed controllers will ask for validated tickets on trainsGoogle maps: [https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Porte+de+Bagnolet/@48.8649082, and since the RER shares the metro infrastructure2.4086197, you might be 17z/data=!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x47e66e87e1c7d877:0x17c4d9a47ae58890!2sPorte+de+la+Chapelle!8m2!3d48.897279!4d2.359192!3m4!1s0x47e66d8329157e27:0x2a4ba9074d60ae9a!8m2!3d48.8645542!4d2.4095799]Get a subject to ticket for the checks in similar order mentioned abovestation Porte de Bagnolet. It This is possible pretty close to travel for freewhere the A3 starts, which leads to the A1, even though you stand so a higher chance lot of being bustedtraffic is heading this direction. The place might not be ideal, but it worked. It seems that checks can occur at any timeThere is a bus stop, where buses often stop so the best time to travel for free traffic is slowed down, furthermore, there is a rush hour when controls are impossible due small gas stop, where you can approach drivers directly which cue up there from time to congestiontime.
