=== West towards [[Berlin]] ([[Germany]] {{Apl|2}} {{E|30}} {{National Road Number Poland|92}}) ===
Go to ''Ogrody'' (last stop of trams 2, 7, 17, 18 and many buses) and take suburban bus no. '''718''' ([http://www.ztm.poznan.pl/assets/Uploads/linie/Linia718s.pdf route], [http://ztm.poznan.pl/network/timetables/#/kierunki/PUK/linia/719 timetables]) or '''719''' ([http://www.ztm.poznan.pl/assets/Uploads/linie/Linia719s.pdf route], [http://ztm.poznan.pl/network/timetables/#/kierunki/ZUK/linia/719 timetables]). The bus stop in ''Ogrody'' is on the other side of the street when you get off the tram. Get out in '''''Dopiewiec'''''. The ride takes about 40 minutes.
You can also take a mini bus of private company [http://www.skorzewo.pl/forum/sprawy-lokalne/bis-trans-rozklad-jazdy Bis Trans] which goes from the same spot in ''Ogrody'' to ''Dopiewo'' which is next village after '''''Dopiewiec'''''. Ask the driver to stop in '''''Dopiewiec'''''.
Start like above - from Ogrody catch the (infrequent, ticket inspected) bus 729 for about an hour to Dopiewiec. Walk back East along the road for 100m or so, then South along a road (turn right (along Szkolna?) for less than a km. You'll come to the A2 motorway - before the crossing and just over a meter high fence to the West (on your right) you'll find a rest station. There are only toilets and so less traffic
Get to '''''Górczyn''''' (last stop of trams 5, 8, 14 and many buses). From there walk over the rail tracks by bridge and go straight for about 800m. Behind the second traffic lights there's a bus stop where you can hitch. There's no point of going further as expressway starts just a few hundred meters behind the bus stop. This expressway is a main road linking city center with motorway A2 from the west. There are also two p,etrol stations nearby where you can ask drivers. From the same spot you can hitch towards Wrocław so make a sign.
A lot of local people will go to Komorniki, the first suburb of Poznań in that direction, where there are a lot of shops like Auchan (supermarket) and a McD. Often you will hear the recommendation that from there you will easily find a lift to the A2, but actually this is not true. Most traffic is coming from the A2 and is going to the center of Poznan.

Get to '''''Rondo Rataje''''' (roundabout). There are plenty of trams and buses going there. You can hitch just behind it, on a dual carriegeway (the one without tram tracks). There's no emergency lane or bus stop, but drivers generally stop there, and you may even expect some competition there, as it's popular spot for students hitching back from school. From the same spot you can hitch southeast towards [[Katowice]], so make a sign.
In the city centre, just in front of the castle there's a bus stop called '''Zamek'''. From there take a bus 71 in the direction <b><i>Osiedle Dębina</i></b> and get off at the end. Go along the main road till you get to the motorway junction. You can ask at the red lights for a lift to the nearest petrol station on A2 (MOP Krzyżowniki), which is just before the junction Poznań Wschód (exit for S5 towards Gniezno). Ask: ''stacja benzynowa A2'' (pronounce statsya benzenova ah dva).
See direction Berlin, then just go to the other side of the motorway.
From city center take trams 6 or 8 to '''''Miłostowo''''' and get out at the last stop. From there walk along the road about 100 m and you will see Orlen petrol station. You can either ask drivers at the station or hitch at the end of it where is a place for cars to pull over.
=== South and southwest towards [[Wrocław]] {{National Road Number Poland|5}} {{E|261}} and [[Zielona Góra]] {{National Road Number Poland|32}} ===
See direction Berlin by motorway A2, from ''Głogowska'' street as it's the same spot.
Get to ''Górczyn'' (last stop of trams 5, 8, 14 and many buses). Then take a bus 703 to the station AFTER '''''Szreniawa''''' (aproximatelly 25 min by bus from Górczyn). After getting off you can easily catch a car in the direction of Leszno, Wrocław. Get off the bus, walk back a few meters, turn right and walk down the path for about 200m to a bus stop where you can hitch.
There is a good [http://jakdojade.pl/Welcome.jsp?locale=en website] showing you how to get from one point to another by public transport in major Polish cities.
