Oslo
,no edit summary
Hitching out of Oslo is usually difficult from the city center (except going south). There are several motorway entrances behind the tunnel. The further outside the city you are, the easier it gets.
=== North towards [[Trondheim]] {{E|6}} or northwest towards [[Molde]] and or [[Ålesund]] ===
__TOC__
This is a superb spot for heading north/northwest: a "Circle K" petrol station on the [[E6]] direction North which can be reached with the free IKEA shuttle bus. This blue bus is leaving from Fred Olsens gate 5 every hour on the "o'clock". It operates from 10.00 until 22.00 on weekdays and from 09.00 until 20.00 on saturdays. You could also jump on the metro line 1 or 2 to the stop (Trosterud) at earlier/later hours, sundays and it leaves at higher frequencies, but that would cost a one-zone ticket of 35 NOK.
You may want to try Esso petrol station (diesel is cheaper there so lots of people fills up there and other advantage is there is a MC D. right next to it). To get there, take subway to Hellerud, turn right into Smalvollveien and walk till you get to Esso. Some might find useful to know that there seem to be fewer ticket controls on that line.
=== West towards [[Bergen]], or southwest towards [[Stavanger]] and [[Kristiansand]]===
The road to Bergen diverges from the southwestern road at Sandvika. If your ride is going the other way, just get off at one of the gas stations before Sandvika and keep hitchhiking from there.
'''Option 1 - Onramp at Skøyen -'''
This option is fairly close to the city centre. Take a train or a bus to (Skøyen), and walk southwest towards the highway. There is a big roundabout a a little closer to the hightway, and a 100 meters further down the onramp you'll see a bus stop with plenty of space to pull over. This is a favorite spot for many hitchhikers heading west. In winter and at dark, though, you might want to try the next From here option2 is also close by, a gas station that is just 600 meters down the highway from there.
'''Option 2 - Gas station at Maritim -'''
Take the bus 31 or 31E to the stop (Maritim) and walk for 50 meters to the gas station close by. The station does not have too much traffic, but it is fairly easy to hitch a ride to the next gas station on the way towards Sandvika or Drammen, where there is more traffic heading northwest and southwest.
'''Option 3 - Bergen direction only - Where the motorway ended -''' there is bus 200 that goes from the City, you can catch it to the stop ''Avtjerna'' and hitch from the bustop. All motorway has ended and it is just country road all the way to Bergen. The con with this option is that it the bus only goes once an hour (and once every 2 hours on sunday). It is also quite far out from Oslo, and public transport can be pricey. But if you just miss the bus you can change to option 1 or 2 or 3 instead of waiting for the next one. '''Option 4 - Closer to the city on a onramp - 10 minutes walking'''Catch a train to Sandvika, when you get off the train walk in the direction the train was moving for 100 meters, turn right and then left on the bigger road (Elias Smiths Vej), follow the road until a roundabout and turn right, and you will see the entrance to the motorway Both of the options for [[Kristianstad]], [[Stavanger]] can also be used to go towards [[Bergen]] === South-West towards [[Kristiansand]], [[Stavanger]] ===''' Option 1 - Stabekk gasstation '''
