Take the BRT line 1 to '''Tehran Pars''' (Bus Rapid Transport, the faster buses with own bus lane in the city) this is the last stop and will bring you quite far in the east of tehran. After getting off the bus go straight until a big road goes right onto the highway. Get on the side of the highway and start hitching.
=== West towards [[Qazvin]] ===
Take the metro to '''Haram-e-Motahhar''' (Red Line). Walk West around Imam Khomeini tomb, and South along the Freeway. After 15 minutes, you'll see the pay-toll.
''Redjo27 (Apr 2015): Maybe I was just stupid, but you should walk EAST '''east''' around the tomb (don't enter), since the western way is blocked. At the northernmost point, there is a street going under the highway. Just follow that street until you get to the toll station. You cannot miss it''
''Note 1'' : this part of the freeway until Qom is forbidden to for trucks, which take the old road. Still, this spot is the best for long distances rides. Catch a lift at least until Qom and ask to be dropped before the paytoll toll station at the entrance of Qom (if your driver leaves the freeway). From there it will be easy to catch a ride further South (Esfahan, Shiraz), including with trucks.
''Note 2'' : many drivers heading to Esfahan will leave the freeway at Qom and use the old road for the rest of the trip because it is cheaper!
