Take bus 411 express (or 211 non-express) from Lionel Groulx subway station. From the terminus, continue walking westward (or take bus 251). Turn right on Saint Pierre St and head straight. Going to Toronto, you can hitch at the on-ramp of Highway 20, after the underpass or walk the bridge and hitch directly on the road as it becomes a boulevard and there is plenty of space for vehicles to stop after the intersection, near the tourist information.
Another possibility is go to get [https://www.google.ca/maps/place/23+Avenue+Gowans,+Lachine,+QC+H8R+1R7/@45.442476,-73.6516226,19z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x4cc916d04e762039:0xe8584463c3195cd6 here]. Get off at Vendome metro station and take the bus 90 going west (ouest in French). Going along St Jacques street, at the fork of the road you will see a gas-station and a McD's - the bus will go left, and you should get off and go right - which is where cars going west will pass. This is still fairly in the city but if you hitchhike with a sign saying you want to go west on the highway 20, you should get a ride quite easily. It is advised to go there early and try to catch the people going from Mtl to To.<!-- Link goes straight to McD, not done!

In Alexander's experience, this place gave no good results for hitchhiking during winter. Waited from 09:00AM to 02:00PM without any results. Ride sharing using Kijiji or Craigslist is recommended in such case.
