* west on B300 towards [[Memmingen]], [[Ulm]]: take tram line 3 towards ''Stadtbergen'' and get off one stop after the main railway station (''Rosenaustrasse''), walk alongside B300 for about 15 minutes until petrol station (Shell); use a sign or ask people, much traffic is local only; this may also work south and north on B17 towards [[Landsberg]]/[[Donauwörth]] === General Trick for Thursdays and Fridays ===The university of Augsburg is a campus university in the south of Augsburg with mainly two big parking lots. The university has more than 20.000 students that mostly come from the surrounding area. On Thursday afternoons/evening and Friday early afternoon you can find many young people giving you lifts to the surrounding area or the next gas station.You can reach the university by taking tram line 3 to "Universität". Get off there and walk to the north and the west side of the university. It is a little up the hill, where you find the parking lots.Note that the university only works in winter and summer, while having long vacations in spring (around February till April) and autumn (August till October).  == Hitchhiking In == If you are entering from south (B17 highway) you can get off at any highway exit after the football stadium (you can easily spot it on your left side) and walk 3min eastwards to a tram station of tram line 3.If you are coming from north, east or west (Munich, Ulm, ...) your driver can get you off at a highway exit in the north of Augsburg and you can walk around one 1km south to the station "P+R Oberhausen Nord" of tram line 4. For Entering from Munich, ask to get off at the very first highway exit after crossing the river Lech (the bridge right when you enter the city). If you are coming from west (Ulm, Stuttgart, ...), ask your driver to switch the highway to highway B17 in south direction (Universität, Landsberg, CityCenter, ...) at the big highway crossing "Kreuz Augsburg West". Take the very first exit on B17, after 500m you have reached the Park&Ride tram station "P+R Oberhausen Nord" of tram line 4. == Black Driving ==First of all everybody can use the any tram for one station, starting from Königsplatz (the central tram station, in the middle of the city). If you go further, you can just get in the trams, without getting checked. They have civilian conductor teams (usually three people, sometimes two). They are at least 25 and not more than 50, but mostly younger, mostly male and usually standing together in a group at the tram station, but then splitting up in the tram (one goes to the end, one in the middle, one to the front). However i study in Augsburg for 7 years and wasn't checked more than 20times in total and always around the center.In buses you need to get in at the front door, but you can go through the back door, if somebody gets out. If you go in the front, they want to see your ticket. All students, many pupils and a lot more people have longtime tickets in their wallets. They show them usually so quickly to the bus driver, that they can't recognize anything. So all you need to do is, quickly showing them a rather white card (7cmx4cm) in your wallet and pass sufficiently.
