== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North towards [[Stuttgart]], [[Heilbronn]] B464 ===
There is a petrol station north the city at just 5-10min by bus from Reutlingen Main Station ([https://www.google.com/maps/place/Aral/@48.5199522,8.9696623,10.79z here], GPS 48.5199522,8.9696623) : take bus 1 towards Rübgarten Mitte, or bus 21 towards Berliner Ring, or bus 3 towards Rommelsbach, or bus X3 towards Pfullingen Laiblinsplatz and stop at Reutlingen Tannenbergerstrasse, or walk 30min from Reutlingen Main Station. You can either ask people at the petrol station or hitchhike at the bus stop, it's a few meters past a traffic light so cars go slow.
=== North, East towards [[Stuttgart]], [[Ulm]] ===
To get towards [[Stuttgart]] and [[Ulm]] it is best ''not'' to stand next to the direct "Schnellstraße" '''B27''' between ''Orschel-Hagen'' and ''Römerschanze'', but go to the other side of the city. If you're far away from the city center take line #1 (towards ''Orschel-Hagen'') or line #7 (towards ''Efeu'') to the stop ''Karlsstrasse/Fernmeldeamt''.
This busstop is the place to stand as it is at the intersection which leads to the '''B28'''.
=== West towards A 81, [[Tübingen]]===
[http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?place=21345 Esso petrol station] close to train station "Reutlingen West". Easy to get to Tübingen, A81 possible.
=== South towards nowhere ===
If you want to go south or to the Swabian Jura you should stand at the busstop in the ''Lederstrasse''. This is where you can also find the ADAC or the Lois. It it in the city center on the way towards [[Pfullingen]] and [[Eningen]]. If you can't find it, ask locals, they usually know it.
