A door to come and leave. The buses in Rennes work in a "you're supposed to buy a ticket" way, but it's simple to use them without paying, as chances are that a ticket inspector comes on and asks to check your ticket are slim.

== Hitching Out Hitchhiking out ==The best place are the gas petrol stations before and after the city if you come from outside the place.

=== West towards [[Vannes]], [[Lorient]], [[Quimper]] ===Take the bus 11 to the stade Route de Lorient. You can't miss the stop, it's in front of the stadium after 300m you will see a first traffic light it's the entrance of ring road you can start hitchhike just after, there also 3 service station before this road change into a motorway 2km further a bus stop and a lot of traffic light, the first petrol station is probably the best spot as there is traffic light before and after people are going slowly. === West towards [[Saint Brieuc]], [[Morlaix]], [[Brest (France)|Brest]] ===Get to the ''J.F. Kennedy'' subway station (see map). Then walk along the ''Boulevard d'Anjou'' towards the ''Route de Saint-Brieuc''. At the roundabout , you'll find a perfect hitchhiking spot. === North-West towards [[Saint-Malo]], [[Dinard]] ===Go to the roundabout between ''Rue Saint-Malo'' and ''Route Saint-Malo''. Many buses can get you there it's close to ''arrêt Léonard'' (14,52,68,78,C4), ''arrêt Grand Quartier'' and ''arrêt Dulac''. Take the roundabout and walk a few metters on ''Route Saint-Malo'' (also named N137) until you see the ''Rennes'' exit sign ([https://www.google.fr/maps/@48.1333733,-1.6911018,3a,75y,8.84h,90.81t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1smvkxr59g2gNW6oXuXNSyEg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 link to google street view]). Cars can stop here and the road is leading straigth to St-Malo.

Take the metro towards the ''Henri Fréville'' station (see map)or bus 3 to Alma. There, walk down the ''Passage Henri Fréville'' for some meters towards a roundabout. Walk straight forward, down under over the highway motorway bridge and there you'll find a good spot to head towards [[Nantes]]. Take a closer look at the map the on the right to find out where exactly. === South toward [[Angers]] ===Take the metro to the last station ''La poterie'' and just walk to the roundabout, another option is to take the bus 62, 73, 75 to the town of ''Verne sur Seiche'' stop at ''La poste'' or ''Verne église'' for the 62 and walk weast to the roundabout it the entrance of a small motorway toward [[Angers.]] The bus 73 can even send you further to Corps Nuds but I've never been there, looking on googlemaps there should be at least two spot to hitchhike 2km south.

Anyway, it's a little bit complicated, no close toll, no gas station near from at my knowledge.[[File:Hitchrennes.png|thumb|right|400px|Good places are marked green. ]]The goal is too get to the toll station just before [[Laval]], you can easily find where a car to Paris there. Take the metro to the end station ''La Poterie''. From here, it is about 1 km walking to the spot. Start walking on ''Rue de Vem'' to the south. To the left you will pass a huge parking place. Go past one roundabout cross the cars leaved from bridge over the center of rennes motorway to get to take the A81roundabout on the other side.From this roundabout, there is an exit going on the motorway in the good direction, with a nice place for cars to stop.Use a sign with Laval written on it, if your driver don't want to pay for the toll you can ask him to drop you at the last exit before it from there you can simply walk to the toll station.GPS System propose them [[dws49]] waited 20 minutes and got a ride all the way to take the "rue de Nantes" Paris ! Another option is to go to ''Noyal sur Vilaine'', there a transport company operate you can just ask truck driver at the gate or hitch on the "rocade" and entrance of the motorway next A81 however we donto it. At the end of summer vacancy, it't s also possible to find people going back toward [[Paris]], all the tourist coming from the south of Britanny taking the N24 pass by Rennes see spots on the mapsWest towards [[Vannes]], maybe [[Lorient]], [[Quimper]] section how to get there is a gas station but of course hitchhike on that avenuethe other direction at the entrance of the ring road. === North East towards [[Fougéres]], [[Caen]], but this I'm not sure[[Rouen]] ===Take the bus line 1 in the direction of Champs Blancs.Get off at the terminus, make your way north to the roundabout Boulevard Allies/Route Fougeres, place yourself on the Boulevard des Allies direction of the periferic (signs may also indicate Route de Saint Sulpice).At the exit of the roundabout cars pass quiet quickly, but there is a long strip for cars to pull over about 2 meters after. == Hitching in ===== From south ===

When I leaved Rennes it was in If you are coming from south by the night N137, and I was hitchhiking on a big roundabount (yellow point from TerreHappy)that your driver does not stop at Rennes, ans I think it wasn't he will probably want to take the best way..ring. Find it :) It is not good for you !

IMPORTANT : On In this case the sign put best option for you is to ask him to get into Rennes for a few hundreds meters at the end of the N137. Next to the first roundabout, ask him to follow the signs "LavalCentre Commercial", because there is a parking where you canstop safely. The metro station 't put "Vitré" no gas station and no toll before'Henri Fréville'' is very close.Then your driver has just to go back to the roundabout, where he can go back on the ring.. Don't put like me "Le Mans" too far Otherwise, you will not be able to cross the ring by feet to leave that town ...get into Rennes.
