== Direction Option 2: Take tram line 4 to ''Augsburg Nord''. Walk 150m back on "Donauwörtherstrasse" to the petrol station (Esso).<!--[[File:Zenit Jun 2010 4.JPG|thumb|300px|right|Layika and [[User:n0id|n0id]] hitching out of Augsburg in direction of Munich during the [[StuttgartAbgefahren hitchhiking race 2010|3rd Abgefahren hitchhiking race]]]] (A8) ==-->__TOC__Like going to München, orOption 3: Take bus line 22 23 or 23 41 to ''Firnhaberau EndstationHammerschmiede'', then walk 10 minutes to and get off at ''Raststätte A.Hammerschmiede-OstSüd''(big crossroads and shopping center). Walk back and make a right. On-ramp ''Augsburg-West'' You walk towards a big crossroads now. Turn left at the crossroad (the footpath is not useful anymore, because a bit hidden on the other side of the approach road that connects crossing) and follow the motorway with the B17big street until it makes a right. Best is to hitchhike at the (Note for re-visting hitchhikers: there was a gas station here before but it''Esso'' petrol station at s closed now.) When the ''Donauwörtherstrasse'' street makes a right just before cross it to the other side and follow the junction towards ''Gersthofenstreet for about 50-Süd''100 meters until you see a path on your left hand side. After around 300 meters the path ends and you can stop cars which all go to the [[A8 (Germany)|A8]].
== Direction south (B17, = West towards [[LandsbergUlm]], [[FüssenStuttgart]]) {{Autobahn|8}} {{European Route Number|52}} ===Take tram line Option 1: Like going eastwards, see options 1 and 3 (''Straßenbahn'') until ''Bukowina-Institut'' (big high building), at crossroads to the right, 5 minutes until next traffic light or take a bus to the ''Messegelände''; the motorway ramp is directly after the bridge, cars can stop if they go right to the ''Messehalle''. You probably don't need a [[sign]], since there's only one sensible direction.above
Option 2: Take bus line 22 or 23 to ''Firnhaberau Endstation'', then walk 15-20 minutes north to rest station ''[[:de:Augsburg Ost|Augsburg Ost]]''.
:To get to the rest station turn left on ''Siedlerweg'' after getting off the bus. After you pass the dead-end sign you'll see a dirt path on your right. There is a wooden sign reading "Streuobstwiese". Follow this path through the fields. When the path splits, take the first right, then left when it dead ends into another path. When you get to the pavement street, go left and you'll cross a bridge over the motorway. You can see the rest station on your right. After you cross the bridge, take the first right on the bike path, then the second side path on your right, and there you are. There is a less complicated way to get there, but this ist the fastest. Note that the rest station only works for the westward direction.
Note: The On-ramp ''Augsburg-West'' is not useful anymore because of the approach road that connects the motorway with the B17.

=== 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 ==
Everybody can use any tram line for one stop, if starting from Königsplatz (the central tram station, in the middle of the city) for free(!). If you want to go further, you can get in the trams, without any control or stop. They have civilian conductor teams (usually three people, sometimes two). These teams are at least 25 and not more than 50 years old. Most of them are male and usually they stand 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 city 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 very 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 selfsufficiently.
