== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North ===
* An excellent spot for northbound traffic is the Shell gas station close to Upplands Väsby. You can get to Upplands Väsby by commuter train (takes around 20-30 mindirection Uppsala or Märsta on the train...), then find a bus 568 to the end station ''Löwenströmska Sjukhuset''. When at the end bus stop, cross over the parking lot and follow the path along E4 motorway, then you will see the gas station (there is also a McDonalds there). Many go to Arlanda or Uppsala, but there is enough traffic going up north too.
* Another option is to take a commuter train (''Pendeltåg'') to [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=1835005514296943385,59.623520,17.860860&saddr=59.627795,17.861195&daddr=umea&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=14&doflg=ptk&sll=59.628924,17.877803&sspn=0.019224,0.053215&ie=UTF8&ll=59.628924,17.877846&spn=0.019224,0.053215&z=14 Märsta]. Then get out of the station through the little swing door that you see on your left side when walking towards the station house. Turn left and walk South along the railroad until there is a bridge which crosses rails on your left side. You can start hitchhiking on the other side of the bridge. Most drivers who will pick you up will most likely go to Arlanda airport. In this case, get out of their car at the roundabout by the E4. (You can also walk this roundabout while hitching, it's 1-2 km.) Walk up to the [[Uppsala]] entrance and stand right behind the pedestrian crossing. According to some folks, this is a truly magical spot where waiting times hardly ever exceed 10 minutes. Do not accept a ride shorter than to Uppsala. In July 2008 [[User:Guaka|guaka]] found out though that it is not such a great spot after all, almost no traffic and it took an hour or so to get a ride. [[User:Liftarkungen|Liftarkungen]] have several times started hitchhiking from Märsta, but is hitchhiking from the stoplights ''before'' the bridge in order to get a ride to the roundabout mentioned earlier, which surely is a great hitchhiking spot, especially during daylight.
