To get to the peage (pay toll) by public bus, the best is to take the line number 3, direction ''Pascot''. Get out on the last stop, then walk until the end of ''Avenue Pascot'', then go left on ''Route de Canohes'' until you see the big road (road D900). Go on right and follow this road for few hundred metres untill the toll.
From this toll you can easily get a lift North or South. There is an international fruit and vegetable wholesale market (''Saint Charles Market'') close to this toll, many trucks that come from there enter the autoroute through this toll to go both to [[Spain]] and France.
If you go to [[Toulouse]], it is best to use a sign and accept only lifts going there because 60 km North in [[Narbonne]] the motorway splits. Equally, if you want to go to [[Montpellier]], don't accept lifts that don't bring you directly to your destination.
If you're going to Spain and your driver is only driving to [[Le Boulou]] (which is the last exit before Spain) avoid getting out on the last [[petrol station]] called ''Village Catalan''; on the map it looks like the last best place to hitchhike but no one going to Spain stops here because petrol is cheaper on the other side of the border (as of 2008). Instead, go to Le Boulou but ask your driver to drop you off at the final ''barrières de péage'' where all the traffic will have to stop (not to mix it with a small toll barrier on the sliproad which is used only by locals to exit and leave the motorway).
Another handy thing to remember is that buses within the province only cost 1E no matter how far you go!That way you can get almost to Andora's border for only 1 euro.
