  *Highway BP Honswijck petrol station in Muiden First you go by train, tram, metro or bus to the station Amsterdam Amstel. From there three bus lines, 320, 322 and 327, are going to busstop "P+R Terrein" in Muiden. A presale ticket costs EUR 2,90 for all buses ("GVB 1 uur" ticket).

'''Option 2''' *Hush AVIA highway petrol station / rest stop (out of city by train) There is often a lot of competition at the ''liftplaats'' and drivers usually only go short distances, so by the time you have finally left Holland you will have had approx. 3–6 rides. You can easily avoid this by taking a train to Hengelo (buy a discount ticket, see below). Then, from  From the train station ''Hengelo'' take bus 14 to ''Bruninkshoek''. You now find yourself on the street ''Oostelijke Esweg''. Walk in the direction the bus just came from towards the street ''Hasselerbaan'', then turn left. Walk down until you cross ''Oldenzaalsestraat''. Turn left and you will see a footbridge overlooking the A1. When you have crossed the bridge, don't turn right but walk through the grass and descend down. Turn left before the ditch and walk with the ditch on your right. Continue until you see a little forest; here you have to jump over a small ditch. Walk through the little forest and you will reach an excellent service Hush AVIA petrol station where nearly all cars go to Germany.

NOTE:''Just recently I hitchhiked out on Utrechtsbrug - first on Though the onramp after the bridgespot is generally awesome, after being pushed away by cops you are likely to spend hours waiting for cars going as far as [http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verzorgingsplaats_Haarrijn Haarrijn] on the petrol station - Sundays (and was harassed by probably Saturdays too). It might be reasonable to try further spots to avoid local traffic during the police that I can not stand end of week.  *Utrech on a petrol station (!) to hitchhike but have ramp If you are too lazy to go into that far out of the city , take a bus or metro to the liftplaats near Amstel Station. They were close at arresting me because I wanted their identy and the law by which they want to ban me from the petrol station Amstelveenseweg and they couldn't give me any of it. In stand on the end I convinced them that if I bought on ramp there with a coffee at the store and asked if I could hitchhike that there was no law against me standing there then and they accepted"Utrecht" sign. But they were really pushy and blamed me for "coming as There is a guest to this country wide shoulder and not accepting rules" and how bad I should feel. If you hitchhike from Utrechtsbrug try it doesn't usually take more than 10 minutes to get to a lift. Once on the petrol station without being seenhighway, also ignore the signs that hop from rest area to rest area and you are not allowed to walk, its just 50 meters than there is enough spacewont have any problems arriving at your destination.''
