Certain specific spots in the urban area, mainly nearby the metro station are well known for car-sharer and would be a perfect starts to leave the city. A sign marking the city you are heading to will always lower your waiting time, and will more surely help you getting a lift out of the island by a commuter faster.
==Hitching Out=====Going South, [[New York]], through highway [[Quebec highways|A-15]]===
You can walk North from the metro station '''Longueuil''' and find the bridge crossing the highway to join the [[Quebec highways|A-15]] in direction of the [[New York state|New York State]]/[[United States|USA]]. It's probably not 100% legal to stand on the good spot there, but you will probably quickly get a ride.
=== Going South-East ===
==== toward [[Burlington]], [[Vermont]] along [[Quebec highways|provincial 133]]====If you want to get to the border at [[St-Armand]], [[Quebec]] and the state of [[Vermont]], you will have to get a bit outside of the island of Montreal, first, since most of the highways within Montreal directly lead into the highway that goes to the border of [[New York State]]. Crossing the border with New York, by hitchhiking, but especially on foot, is not recommended.
The best way to get onto the correct highway for the Vermont border is to take the [[St-Jean sur Richelieu]] bus 96 from the Bonaventure Metro Station (Le 1000 de La Gauchetière Terminus, follow the signs from within the Metro Station), all the way to the last stop, Carrefour Terminus, St-Jean sur Richelieu. The bus will cost about $8 CAN, and you must pay the exact fare in cash. The bus runs 7 days a week, and a schedule in PDF format is [http://www.ville.saint-jean-sur-richelieu.qc.ca/cgi-bin/index.cgi?page=c0_8_1&langue=fra here], if you click on the link "Circuits 96...".
To reach the border you will simply have to hitch from [[St-Jean sur Richelieu]] (see further details on that page), towards [[Sabrevois]] and [[St-Armand]].
Take the metropolitan train to the Vaudreuil Station (6,50$). Exiting the train station turn left on Felix-Leclerc St. Then walk (1.5 km) to the truck stop at the Cite-des-Jeunes Blvr.
==Laval==
'''Laval''' is a suburban city within the Montreal Metropolitan Area and an island located north of [[Montreal]] in [[Quebec]]. It follows the rule of being actually the only entity being it's own city, island, county and administrative region. This, even if its existence is pretty much dependent of the [[Montreal Metropolitan|Metropole]].
