Although this would be a bad development for hitchhiking here, there is still very little known about how the buses are going to be rerouted, htm 258] and considering it won't be upgraded to motorway standardsget off on stop "Winna Góra", probably not even expressway standards, pedestrian access you will likely still be possible, beside the motorway and it could very well be that there will be still some bus stops near this site after the reconstructiongas station is close by. For the time being, however, this site should be downgraded best is to {{bad}}check [http://krakow.jakdojade.pl/{{senseless}} in terms of hitchhikingjakdojade. * '''From [[Petrol station hitchhiking|petrol stationpl]] in city suburbs'''From bus stop ''Motel Krak'' (see above) you can walk down because the road buses are running once for about 1two hours.5km or take any bus (user cyclebear tried it in that direction may 2014 and get off at found it the second stop called '''''Pasternik Cmentarz''''' (you have to press the stop button otherwise the bus won't stopbest current solution for going west on A4 from krakow).

For about a bit more than 10-11 Polish Zloty you can take a train from Krakow to the small town of '''Trzebinia''' (As of October 2012 the regional train was 18 Zloty. It will be cheaper if you take a minibus, the station is behind the shopping mall next to the train station). Leave the train station, turn left, cross the bridge and follow ''road 79'' direction southwest. Its just another 1,5 km to get to the motorway junction and you can try hitch hiking with a KATOWICE-sign already, because a lot of traffic goes towards the motorway and you are already outside of Trzebinia.

It takes about one hour to travel from Krakow main station to Trzebinia, but compared . ** '''Recent development at Motel Krak'''It doesnt make sense to hitch hike there anymore.  * '''From [[Petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]] in city suburbs'''From bus stop ''Motel Krak'' (see above) you can walk down the road for about 1.5km or take any bus in that direction and get off at the second stop called '''''Pasternik Cmentarz''''' (you have to press the other right now existing options, he found it much more comfortablestop button otherwise the bus won't stop).
