Although the road 6org/wiki/E73 goes straight through PécsM60-as_aut%C3%B3p%C3%A1lya_(Magyarorsz%C3%A1g) M60] motorway, you simply won't get a ride inside the city. At ''Budai Állomás'' there it is a crossroad with a traffic lightjust finished and local hitch-hikers use it frequently. Cross, walk towards Take the direction of Budapest, downhill. Start hitching when you passed bus 41 until the petrol stationlast stop /Reménypuszta/, and you are at there's the other side of the valley, under the bus stop sign58th road. That is where Follow it for 500 meters and you are 'll find the most visibletoll to Budapest.
=== South towards [[Croatia]] ([[Osijek]]) and Bosnia ([[Sarajevo]]) ([[57]] and E73/7) ===When hitchiking from '''Pécs''' Another possibility to [[Sarajevo]] go on main road 6th, until Szekszárd, there you can take local bus 20 or 20A to the last stopM6 as well. Walk The reason to take the main road, which is rather then the 57 and hitch south in direction of Mohacs. Eventually you'll hit a roundabout where you can either go straight into the city of Mohacs or right towards Udvar - highway directly from Pécs: the border crossing from Hungary into Bosnia. Head towards Udvar, this highway is not a big detour compared to the road E73/76. Rides are a bit sparse here and most heading that direction are actually heading into The road 6 goes across the Mecsek (a back road hill north of Mohacsthe town), not to Udvar. So if your ride drops you off here, you'll have a more select audience if you walk a bit until you cross a bridge and pass the small road to Mohács on M60 starts from the south of the left. Once you reach town, bypasses the border crossingMecsek, there's quite a few trucks there you can catch a ride withit is about 40 km longer between Pécs and Szekszárd. (June 2008)
== Public Transport ==Probably there is bigger chance to get a long distance lift from the M60, but many local students prefer the 6th road. To get to road 6th, you have to take the bus 2 until /Budai Vám/ there is a large Tesco, you cant miss it. Actually, you can, because there are 2 large Tescos in Pécs, and the other one is on the opposite side of the town - watch out when asking! If you are at the Tesco at "Budai vám", you have to walk towards about 500 m, there will be a slight slope, at the bottom there is a petrol station (just for toilet, water, or what ever you need), and a bus stop, where drivers can stop to pick you up.If you walk about hundred meters more, you are just out of town, which is also a very good place to hitch a ride.
=== Local ===Maybe the bus stop is better, because you get in the drivers sight early, when they are the top of the slope, and they watching you until they reach the bottom. Plenty of time to decide!
Pécs has a reasonable public transportation system consisting of 50 or so bus lines.=== South towards [[Osijek]], [[Sarajevo]] (57 {{E|73}} {{E|7}}) ===
Buses 2 and 2A go from one end Take local bus 20 or 20A (in front of the city big shopping mall Arkad) to the last stop.

A bus ticket costs 220 HUF (somewhat less than €1) or 300 HUF (roughly €1) when bought on the bus from the conductor. Tickets Rides are sold at newspaper kiosks a bit sparse here and also at smaller groceries. Conductors most heading that direction are also responsible for checking the existance actually heading into a back road of your ticket when getting onMohacs, so it's virtually impossible not to travel without oneUdvar.
