Other option if you want to pay 3.40 euros for the train then take the ''Badener Bahn'' to ''Maria-Enzersdorf (Südstadt)'' Advantages of the latter one: it goes more often and earlier in the morning than the bus. If you take the train, you can go to one station after ''Shopping City Süd'' which is called ''Maria-Enzersdorf (Südstadt)''. This one is closer to the actual [[slip road|interchange]]: just get off the train, head the direction you came from, turn right by the end of the platform, cross the tracks, pass 100 m of wild grass and there is a curved street – you'll see the signs.
Alternatively you can take public transport to ''Matzleinsdorfer Platz'' where the ''Triester Straße'' begins [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Triester+Stra%C3%9Fe+2,+Vienna,+%C3%96sterreich&aq=0&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=26.674078,56.513672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Triester+Stra%C3%9Fe+2,+Favoriten+1100+Wien,+Austria&z=15] (direction South-West). This road is extremely long but it has on-ramps for heading South ([[Graz]]). Try hitching along this road, or ask at the petrol station. If you keep walking down there is a perfect place for hitchiking where cars take the exit and join the highway. There is a lot of grass and even a place for stopping.
'''Personal experience''': [[User:T0ma5|T0ma5]] waited for 2 hours on April 2011 before getting a ride to Graz, there is a lot of traffic, but not many cars are leaving the city since this location is not that far from the centre.
* [[User:MaxHermens]] continued walking along the onroad, towards the highway that went from north to south, and stood on that onramp. This way, you'll always catch traffic going in the right direction. This does mean you have to walk along a patch of onramp with loads of traffic and no room for pedestrians (this is dangerous!). After that bit, the cars go right and up, and there starts a safety lane again where hitchhiking is possible. He waited here for about an hour until he got a ride towards Graz.
If you are okay with hitchhiking at traffic lights, you can also just go to "Schönbrunn" with U4 (underground – green line). Cross the street and walk towards the entrance of Schönbrunn-castle. Now you are on "Grünbergstraße". Here you can try to hitchhike from the traffic lights. This street leads to "Altmannsdorfer Straße" which leads to A2 (the motorway leading to the south) I hitchiked from the Shopping city for one hour in rain before getting a ride. Next time i discovered the place at the end of ''Triester Straße'' where i got a ride in 20 min. My friend often uses that spot now. I think it is the best spot in direction Graz.
