* '''From the town of ''Swarzędz'''''
From city center go to tram stop ''Rondo Śródka'' (trams 4, 17 direction ''Starołęka'', 6, 8 direction ''Miłostowo'') and then take bus no S-1 from bus station behind Lotos petrol station, direction '''''Swarzędz'''''). After about 20 minutes bus will turn left (near Lidl shop) then go out, turn back to the main road and hitch some meters after junction with traffic lights. About 300 m further from this place there's Shell petrol station and huge parking for truckers. If you are not lucky there try also the traffic lights across the petrol station.

* '''From toll Toll plazaGołuski'''
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'''''.
From there walk for about 2km south and then just jump over the fence (before the police station) to get on the parking after the toll. Here's the [http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=52.353718,16.717973&spn=0.012739,0.027637&t=h&z=15&msid=112760156584939739161.000469d4924c2bad2c929 route].
* '''From bus Bus stop on ''Głogowska'' street'''
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 petrol 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 shop of a famous American fast food chain. 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.

* '''From behind roundabout Roundabout ''Rataje'''''
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.
* <b>From the motorway junction Junction <i>Poznań Luboń</i> (formerly known as Dębina)</b>
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).
* '''From toll Toll plazaGołuski'''
See direction Berlin, then just go to the other side of the motorway.

* '''From petrol Petrol station on ''Warszawska'' street'''
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.
Optionally you can walk along the same road and after 200-300m you will see a bridge and Volkswagen factory. Hitch straight after the bridge on the bus stop (there is plenty of cars and trucks who are going by inner bypass around Poznan, so many of them are going for a longer distances, and you may avoid local traffic like it's possible at the first place mentioned).
