== Hitching out ==
=== West towards [[Zürich]], [[Bern]] or [[Basel]] {{European Route NumberE|60}} N1===To hitch out in this direction, there's a spot at the Sankt Fiden exit. There is a bridge over the motorway from which an on-ramp comes down to join the motorway. You can just stand on the upper end of that on-ramp -- it doesn't look like a very good spot, but [[User:Zenit|Zenit]] has never waited longer than 10 minutes here. Take bus 1, 4, or 7 in the direction Stephanshorn, Guggeinen, resp. Neudorf. Get out at the St. Fiden stop and walk to the bridge.
