aA) stay in the 3rd wagon, and when you see the control approaching, go the opposite direction. If the train is full, the control might be slow and you might arrive in Megara before they reach you. If they catch you without a ticket, you wont pay any fine, but just the 3 euro ticket.From the train platform of Megara, you can see the restaurant / petrol station.

== Hitching out ==
=== North to [[Volos]], [[Thessaloniki]] {{E|75}} ===
You can also catch a ride at the point where drivers who avoided the tolls are getting back into the high way. Half of the rides go to Halkida, and the other half go further North. Decline rides that don't go in your direction, they will only put you in a worse spot.
For a place to sleep before [[Thessaloniki]], there is a [http://hitchwiki.org/maps/?zoom=15&lat=40.33&lon=22.58 24 hour rest area/gas station] in Korinos and it's called [https://olympusplaza.gr Olympus plaza].

==== Option 1: Megara SEA ====
Take the suburban train direction Kiato, and get down in Megara. The controller always gets on the train in Nea Peramos, in the 1st or 5th (last) wagon. You can either :
There are not many cars stopping there, but you can get a long ride. The intersection to Patra or Tripoli is just 40km away, be sure to ask for the correct direction before accepting the ride.
==== Option 2: National Road 8 ====
Get off at 1st Aerodromiou Stop or Levkes Stop. There you will see the connection with National Road 8 (N8).
==== Option 3 : Eleusina Toll Station ====
With the same buses of option 2, you get off at Platia Elefsinas and [http://osm.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_foot&route=38.0431,23.5420;38.0420,23.4962 walk 5.3km] to Eleusina Toll Station.
=== South to [[Sounio]] ===
Take the bus [http://www.oasa.gr/xpmap.php?id=p122&lang=en 122] from metro Elliniko to Saronida, go down at the last stop, walk along the coast to get out of Saronida, and from there you can hitch-hike to Sounio.
== Public Transport ==
The metro has automatic doors. Black riding is quite common. We wait that somebody opens it with their ticket and we follow them.
In nearly all stations, that are not underground you can also easily jump/climp the fence. In some underground stop points you can also jump easily small walls (for example 0,5m in Omonia) aside of the regular check points). Watch out for securities.
== Ferry from/to Athens ==
It is quite common to buy a ticket on the port (of Piraeus - south of Athens) for a ferry to the first stop, but getting off later. They never check you when you leave the ferry. Seldomly they check the people that are waiting downstairs for leaving the ferry.
