You should then seriously consider coming by the {{European Route Number|56}} (even if you come from southern Germany).
* If you find yourself in a car that is passing through Vienna on the eastern ring road, try getting out around the Donau island (German: ''Donauinsel''), close to the river. From here you can walk to a metro-station that usually heads directly towards the centre of Vienna.

From central Wien take a tram nr.31 to the last station, ''Stammersdorf''. Continue on your right down the main street, Brünner Str (road nr. 7); pass the "Merkur" supermarket till you come to another shopping centre, about 300m further. Hitchhike right after the entrance to the parking lot. All the traffic to Brno passes here, although bear in mind that many cars leave this road before the border and turn eastwards onto some country roads to get to the Slovak motorway. In case your driver continues past Brno, ask him/her to drop you off at the "Olimpia" shopping centre which is situated on the motorway – from there you will find a free bus to central Brno.
For everyone going to Slovenia or Zagreb, know that there are no gas station on your side of the road some 100 kilometres before Graz. The first one is near Leibnitz, some 15-20 km after Graz. So if someone offers you a ride to Graz, try to see if they're maybe going to Leibnitz or past Leibnitz.
== Fare Evading Public transport ==It's quite easy to ride the subway, bus, and tram system with no ticket. One Vienna's local (who actually did use a year pass) told she'd been checked once in a period of over a year despite riding public transport every day. There is an internet site with a list of the lines which are going to be checked for black riders (http://apps.vienna.at/tools/schwarzkappler/). Schwarzkappler is an Austrian slang term for the ticket controllers. Although the site takes her information from a reliable source (the "Wiener Linien" herself) there had not been yet a proof how reliable that information is. Another website where the passengers inform where and when did they see controllers: http://schwarzkappler.info/ Main Austrian cities and some German as well. Facebook and Twitter pages.

:I got checked the very first time I blackrode in Vienna. At the time I didn't bring any money with me and didn't have my passport with me. The police told me to step out of the car and told me that they needed to take me to police station (since I couldn't pay the fine and couldn't show them my passport). And then they talked to each other for is 70€, but foreigners can give a few minutes fake address in their home country and told me to go upstairs and buy a ticket. I returned with my ticket and gave it to them and continued my tripavoid paying. Since then, no more black riding for me in Vienna,
