Agree! Good and easy. November 2015 ****
In case you're going north, consider taking the [http://www.cp.pt/cp/displayPage.do?vgnextoid=87cbd5abe2a74010VgnVCM1000007b01a8c0RCRD train] to get out of Lisbon - the ticket costs 2.20 euro for up to 1h30 of travel, no matter where you go nor which train you take (June 2014). In Vila Franca de Xira (30min by train), you have both the national road and the toll for the A1 motorway in a walking distance. @@@@ I have tried this. This is a really good method to reach to Porto. The walk to the Motorway Toll is not exactly close but you come out of the station turn right, just ask anyone the way towards the A1 Tollway. Basically comeout turn right on the main street, you will pass Pingo Doce superstore on left keep walking until on right side you see a Car Service Center and the road is turning left and all vehicles are turning left too. You walk and you will see a roundabout from where you have to take right and go straight. Keep walking the signs will show A1 motorway. After another 300 meters walk there is a roundabout which points to A1 Toll Highway and backwards slight left to national highway going to Porto. Keep walking and don't go towards the national highway. Right after this roundabout there is a petrol Station on the right. Don't stay here, keep walking and then there is another super market on right and a petrol station on left , keep walking and then you will reach your FINAL ROUNDABOUT where the second exit on right is the Toll Road going to Lisbon as well as PORTO. Now as you enter this road find your spot close to entry and smile and stand. Don't walk to the toll. This spot near the entry is a kind of incline , all cars kind of slow down and is great for eye contact and also spot for cars to pick you up. Some soul touching the highway will definitely stop. If someone is not going all the way to Porto request them to drop you to the next petrol station on the highway to Porto. This is about 10-12 kms away but it is a restaurant cum petrol station so amazing to get ride all the way up north to PORTO and beyond.
