→East & West - Alternative {{European Route Number|30}}
=== West towards [[Berlin]] {{European Route Number|30}} ===
If you want to go to Berlin, or generally direction west, take tram #1 or #5 in the direction ''Neuberesinnschen'' ( 1,40 Euro, April 2013) and get off at the last stop. Then walk some 100 metre along the street ''Mühlenweg''. You will see a Shell petrol station on the other side of the street. You can hitchhike at the exit of the station. It usually takes 10-20 minutes until somebody offers a ride. You can also hitchhike where the turn-off to the gas station begins, close to the traffic light. This has the advantage that drivers will see you from further away and often stop or slow down due to red light. A lot of cars will turn there, because it is a short cut for many people (via the gas station), so don't be irritated.
Even if you are not going to Berlin, it might help to have a sign for Berlin when hitchhiking at the exit of the petrol station to get a lift out of the city. [[User:N0id|n0id]] hitchhiked there several times and generally finds it easier to find a lift by asking then by thumbing. One time he was sent away by the staff claiming that he was disturbing customers. Ever since, he's been hitchhiking before the gas station at the traffic light. Mostly, because he very same staff member seems to work there quite regularly. His waiting times vary between 5 minutes and up to one hour. He usually does not carry a sign for Berlin though, which would probably increase his chances.

A very good way to hitch out of the city is going to the petrol station "Biegener Hellen" on the motorway A12 (Berlin - Poland). To get there take a train from Frankfurt to '''Pillgram'''. The train goes once per hour, takes less than 10 minutes and costs eur 2.60 (March 2013). From the train station in Pillgram follow the street "Zum Bahnhof" until the end, turn left and the next big street right. Walk for some minutes and you will get out of the village. There will be a small path for workers of the petrol station. This path will take you to the petrol station. Traffic is not huge because most people prefer to fill gas in Poland where it's cheaper, but still it is no bad spot.
In total you have to walk for two kilometres, but it is by far the best option to get out of the Frankfurt and Słubice.
