Hitching out
South towards Dundee, Edinburgh or Glasgow
Work your way south of the river to Kincorth (a district about 1hr walk SW from the train station). Walk onto the A90 (Stonehaven Road). Just South of where Nigg Road meets the A90 is a petrol station from which many people are heading south. (sorry, this is a rubbish description, check google maps, youll find it easier.) From experience thumbing is not very effective, be willing to approach people as they fill up their cars.
Public Transport
Buses
First Bus Company run on the majority of routes: Single Tickets vary up to the price of £1.50, Day Tickets are £3 and Student Day Tickets are £2.60
