== 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-gasstationpetrol station, right before the highway motorway A6 starts. Hitchwiki user Cee always 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 train station to this spot: 5min.
This higway A6 will lead right into the big highway motorway 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!).
=== East, North towards [[Zürich]], [[Basel]], [[Germany]] ===
OPTION 1
From the main trainstation: Cross the town center walking towards the Jura (mountain-chain). After about 10min walking you find a main road with a lot of traffic. Turn right and follow this street, you can already try to stop cars here. There are bus stops (#1, #2) where cars have space to stop. After about 2km the highway motorway A5 going to [[Zürich]] and [[Basel]] starts.
OPTION 2
Take Bus #2 to "Industrie Bözingen" and get out at the stop "Renferstrasse". Walk another 300m and you're right at the entry to the highway motorway - perfect! Bustickets cost CHF 2.50 ("Stadtzone S").
=== West towards [[Neuchâtel]], [[Lausanne]], [[Geneva]] ===
Take bus #11 to Vingelz/Alfermée and get out at the stop "Neuenburgstrasse" or "Räblus Vingelz". As you get out, you're already on the main road that is going to [[Neuchâtel]] and the highway motorway A5. Cars can stop on the bus lane. Perfect!
