[[User:siinvincible|Simon]] spent a whole day around Innsbruck in September 2017, trying to get a ride going West towards Switzerland, hitching south of Innsbruck at Europa bridge services, then later at the stadium, before finally being dropped at Innsbruck West. Within 15 minutes from Innsbruck West a guy stopped, going to Bludenz.
Towards Switzerland (April 2019): from the central bus station you can take the bus 4166 or 4165 to Völs "Metzgerei Singer". (From Dez shopping centre to central station there's a bus 4134 or 4130 from the other side of the roundabout). When you reach Völs, walk north to the shopping centre with a JET tankstelle (gas station). Maybe you can find someone to take you further along the highway to another petrol station where there will be more traffic heading west (many people from that area are going back into the city or driving south). And on Sundays there is the Cyta Flea Market til 2pm, which is basically set up surrounding the gas station.

The bus takes you EUR 1.70 (Summer 2008).

Also, if you want to go west, keep in mind that the first petrol station after Innsbruck (''Pettnau'', 25km west of Innsbruck) is on the other side of the motorway. People going west '''can''' fuel up there, but again you'll find almost only cars going south to Italy.
Towards Switzerland from the central bus station you can take the bus 4166 or 4165 to Völs "Metzgerei Singer".

Take bus F or R to ''Baggersee''.
Once there, continue Grabenweg street for 400m north-east, until you reach the Inn river. Turn right and follow the street, not the trail. It'll lead to ''Freizeitzentrum Rossau'', and just before the street ends there's a way off to the left, to the Freizeitzentrum's parking place.
=== Heading East towards [[Salzburg]], [[Rosenheim]], [[Munich]] ===
Starting point: Exit Innbruck Ost (East), at the fuel stations on the very end of Amraser-See-Straße, next to the DEZ shopping mall.
There is 2 petrol stations (just next to each other) on the street to the high-way. At the second one there was also a sign "Last petrol station before the high-way" - Easy to ask drivers there... (tried 2 times, got a ride always within few minutes)
==== Getting there by bus ====
Line C (direction Luigenstraße) exit DEZ, or line T exit DEZ Ost, and walk the last few meters towards the biggest road close by. Check [http://www.ivb.at/fileadmin/download/fahrplan/mein-fahrplan/liniennetzplan/ivb_liniennetzplan_schematisch_2008.pdf the schematic map of the local public transport] or [http://www.ivb.at/index.php?id=ivb&L=1 their webpage] also in English for further information. The bus takes you 1.70€ (Summer 2008).A Make a sign indicating your desired direction might help you getting along. Good luck!
=== Heading North or West ([[Landeck]], [[Reutte]], [[Füssen]], [[Kempten]], [[Scharnitz]], [[Garmisch-Partenkirchen]], [[Munich]]) ===
This a a lonely motorway exit in the very west of Innsbruck with a free Space just in the middle of the different lanes joining together in the direction of Bregenz and Germany. It is not a nice spot but it works!
===== Getting there by bus =====
Take line T of the IVB Buses running towards "EKZ CYTA" a suburban shopping centre. You are passing the motorway exit by bus just after crossing the Inn River bridge. Get of the Bus at EKZ Cyta, get all you need at the shopping centre and walk back to the motorway exit, which comes first after the roundabout.
A sign indicating your desired direction might help you getting along. Good luck!
