* Option 1: You can take bus #137 (Paso de la Arena), #370 (Cerro) or 17 (Casabo) from the roundabout at Palacio Legislativo. These buses most likely also pass downtown. The bus stop is behind the Palacio, next to the José Batlle y Ordóñez monument. The price for one ticket is $20 24 (March 2013November 2014). Get out at Av. Dr. Carlos Maria Ramirez, esq.

You will have better luck here as the initial on-ramp is a kilometer behind little busy., - WARNING! DON'T GO TO THIS FUCKING PLACE NO MORE!!! I went here to hitch-hike three weeks ago. Two guys tried to rob me (yeah, right in front of the road, 2 o'clock afternoon), one had a gun and I ended up in the hospital same night, with my shoulder dislocated. DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T go to this place, please. I spoke with police later and they said that this spotneighborhood is dangerous now and walking here is a crazy idea (Natrix, your humble viajero from Lithuania, January, 2020).

Behind the roundabout, there's a bus stop with plenty of space to stop cars. However, it might be difficult to Santiago Vazquez cross hitch from there as the bridge road splits just a few kilometers further and many people don't go far.  A quicker (although more expensive) option is to take a bus to peaje Pando (Pando toll booth) from the start hitching after of Avenida Italia across the tollbus terminal Tres Cruces. If going Ask the locals which bus runs there and tell the driver that you want to Gualeguaychu get off in at peaje Pando (it is the 2 and start hitching therefirst peaje).
