→Option 1
The highway M8 does run through the city of Glasgow and if one follows the way out of the Buchanan Bus Station , and then left on red light, past the university there one can see the road converging into the highway and could have been a good spot for hitch hiking but needs to be tried and tested.
--> ( 03 january 2018) we have tried and unfortunately, it's not easy to pick us. Waiting time at the red light is very short and the cars have no time for stopping and pick us. After 4 hours, we take megabus.
=== Direction [[Stirling]] ===
==== Option 1 ====
Get the bus 255 from the Buchanan bus station, and step off on Main Rd. Uddinston Road junction with Fallside Rd in Uddingston Road just before Bothwell (next to a church). Walk down Fallside Rd. until you get to the motorway and Uddingston services , quite busy with traffic heading South. The bus takes about an hour, and the walk 20 minutes, so it might be better to take the train to Uddingston (15min) and then do the 35min walk from there to the services. It's best to hold a sign with the motorway number (AKA [[M74 (GB)|M74]], [[M6 (GB)|M6]]) or to approach drivers and ask.
Though being a very good option to get sure, fast and long distance lifts, be aware that the bus is very expensive! 4.75£, and difficult to blackride.
