=== North towards [[Firenze]], [[Milano]] ===
* Option 1: Take bus 92 from Termini, get out off at Salaria (do "Prati Fiscali/Salaria" no get off on to be confused with the street named "Via Salaria" wich is quite a few stops before the actual "Salaria" stopsstop). Its is right at the entrance of some kind of motorway(wich is not yet the highhay, the pay toll ("pedaggio") entering on highway A1 is still about 6 km away). You can walk along this two-lanes motorway and find a petrol station a few hundreds meters further up. There, but people ask for a ride to the highway. People could also be heading to [[Rieti]] (''check this name''), which might turn out not too bad eitherask them if they can let you at the pay toll ("casello"), where there is a petrol station right before. [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] and [[User:Amylin|amylin]] waited 20 minutes for a ride (which is a lot less than the average waiting time in Italy). Reminder: this is '''not''' a good neighborhood with plenty of prostitutes. Hitching after 22:00 is not recommended, nor is girls hitching alone here. 25 Sept 2009: Men picking women up here are likely to ask for sex. Even at the next gas station. Don't be too eager to get in the car here, choose wisely!
* Option 2: [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Rome,+Italie&sll=35.245619,-95.712891&sspn=33.905542,56.513672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Rom,+Latium,+Italien&ll=42.005571,12.525272&spn=0.00759,0.013797&t=h&z=16 This] is a petrol station on the motorway A1 towards Firenze. To get there, take the metro to "Tiburtina", and from there a regional train to "Sette Bagni". It takes 20 minutes, leaves every 15 minutes on weekdays and costs 1 Euro. Then you should have a look at Google maps to find the way to the bridge over the motorway which leads you to the petrol station, the road is called Via dell' Inviolatella Salaria. You shouldn't walk more than about 15 minutes. Until Firenze, there are around 5 more petrol stations to change cars, so it goes quite well. The last one is 5 km before Firenze. '''Problem''': If you don't find the way, or if the way is blocked (e.g. in March 2014, by a massive building site), it is really really hard to get to the spot. There are swamps, loads of fences, private property, tremendously overgrown ramps and murderous blackberry bushes. Local people don't seem to know anything about the little footbridge, so you need to be quite determined.
