== Hitching out ==
=== East, South towards [[Bern]], [[Thun]], [[Interlaken]], [[Fribourg]], [[Burgdorf]] ===
From the main train station in Biel: Leave the trainstation through the back exit (towards lake, Nidau). There is a big COOP-Supermarket, walk to the other side of it (right through it or across the street on the right side of it). As you reach a street, turn right. After some hundred meters there is a big crossroads. Cross the street and turn left (obviously towards "Bern" - there are big green signs). After about 300m there is a BP-gasstation, right before the highway A6 starts. I Hitchwiki user Cee always stand stands some meters before the railway lines that cross the street - there, drivers will see you from far a way and they can stop easily. Time to walk from the trainstation to this spot: 5min.
This higway A6 will lead right into the big highway A1 towards [[Bern]], [[Interlaken]], [[Fribourg]], [[Genève]] and there's no gasstation to get out before. But a few kilometers before Bern there is the service station ''Grauholz'', where you can find lifts for all directions (there is a bridge!).
