Cultural note: Watch out for Romanian drivers who may attempt to charge you for the ride and/or drop you off in a remote area if you don't pay. Make clear before you sit in a Romanian car that you are not going to pay: ''"Is the lift free? / I can't pay." - "E gratis? / N-am bani sa va dau."''
There is an OMV [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]] with a Mc Donalds on the motorway to Budapest where you can easily find a ride to Bratislava or further into [[Slovakia]].To get to this petrol station by public transport (www.wienerlinien.at) you should get go to '''Enkplatz''' (by Metro U3) and from there you can take a bus number 76A to '''7. Haidequerstraße''' (the bus stop is on the other side when you leave the metro station). Be careful (!) because there are two stops with the same name, '''7. Haidequerstraße''' and '''11. Haidequerstraße''' – get off at the first one, which comes after '''Simmeringer Haide'''. After the stop, the bus turns right, but to get to the petrol station, walk straight on on ''Haidequerstraße'' to the north for a couple of minutesjust 200 meters. The petrol station is on the [[A4 (Austria)|A4]] highway towards Bratislava, Győr and Budapest.
''It is easy to reach this gas station. A sign (I had one for Bratislava) is useful as I just walked to the station holding my sign and looking around a bit to find a good spot to stand, and a driver came to me and offered a ride.''
