There is a service station near Cantagallo. Take the bus #20 to ''Casalecchio'' (departs at ''Via dell Indipendenza''). There change the bus. Take the bus #89. Go to its last station called ''San Biagio''. There you walk 200 metres until you reach the fences of the service station.
From there you can get lifts in all directions. But normally you can't enter the service station. There are fences you can't cross. But there is a little parking lot of the service station staff. You can ring there and maybe they will open you. If not, i heared that go on the other side of the highway, where there is a little hole in the fence, where you can enter.
Crossing the highway outside the service station is a bit difficult. You can try it under the highway through the building site, but it is muddy. It is easier to get off the bus one stop before, before it crosses the highway. Once you are inside the service station, you can cross the highway easily at this service station. Enter the building and go up on the stairs to the restaurant. Now go down on the other side of the highway. Attention: You are not able to cross the highway in the morning, because the restaurant is closed. But if you have luck, the barmen will help you.
=== North towards Ferrara, Padova and Venice on A13 ===
You have to get to the first service area on the highway about 20 kms from the centre. It is called Castel Bentivoglio. There is a bus stop close by, called Bentivoglio Zona industriale Barche (often abbreviated like Bentivoglio Z. i. Barche). Some of the bus lines only go few times a day, mainly in the morning and evening, taking (very helpful) workers to work and back home. Easiest is to take 376 or 377 which go directly from the Bologna central bus station 4-6 times a day (timetable: http://www.atc.bo.it/orari_percorsi/linee/pdf/atc_01376.pdf). You can also use the route planner of the Bologna public transport company here: http://www.atc.bo.it/orari_percorsi/planner/plannerEN.asp. For the arrival town, put Bentivoglio, for the stop: Bentivoglio Z. i. Barche.
From the bus stop, you take the road parallel to the highway. You pass some factories, the highway should be behind them. After 500 m there is a crossroad to the right. The service area is just at the end of it. There is a fence, but I had no problem of getting in, the door was open. If it is closed, you can try to ring or ask for the help of the 'locals'.
I got a ride easily from here until Padova. The people working in the petrol station didn't like that I was asking drivers there, so I was at the exit holding a sign. The day before I tried the other petrol station described above, but it was a complete failure, no one going on the A13.
