== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North towards [[Gävle]] and [[SundavallSundsvall]] ===
* An excellent spot for northbound traffic is the Shell gas station close to Upplands Väsby. You can get to Upplands Väsby by commuter train (takes around 20-30 min direction Uppsala or Märsta on the train...), then find a bus 568 to the end station ''Löwenströmska Sjukhuset''. When at the end bus stop, cross over the parking lot and follow the path along E4 motorway, then you will see the petrol station (there is also a hamburger place there). Many go to Arlanda or Uppsala, but there is enough traffic going up north too.
* You can also begin at Vener Gren Center in the North of Stockholm. On Sveavägen, just before the bend that leads to the E4, there's a traffic light, above the bridge for pedestrians. Just before this traffic light, there is a bus stop, where you can start hitchhiking, the cars are not fast because of the traffic light, and have a lot of space to stop. Another spot nearby is getting to the bus stop Haga södra and keep walking north for about a hundred meters. Where the road where you come from meets the one coming from the the west, there's a traffic light and plenty of space for cars to stop.
==== Uppsala ====
The commuter train is, from 2013, going all the way to Uppsala. For this train, they only check tickets at the gates so you can just buy a one zone ticket and get on the train. Sometimes they have inspectors but not usually, and they can't force you to give them any money if you are not Swedish. If you want to hitchhike as described above, when you need to take the commuter train and then the bus, then you will need tickets for several zones.
