If you want to go south-east on the [[E6]] take metro line 3 to "Mortensrud" and get off at the last station, then cross the bridge over metro track and walk for about 300 meters. You will enter petrol station on motorway E6. Ask drivers there. Very good spot! (Update: as of September 2012, the station is under some kind of construction but the market is still open. I was worried there wouldn't be any traffic but people do still stop for the market. I took a short hitch to one of the next exits down the highway with a gas station and McDonalds though, and that worked out to Goteburg - that ride was actually going all the way to Copenhagen.)
[[user:peregrine|Peregrine]] had luck finding a ride going all the way to the Swedish border within 20 minutes from the motorway on-ramp next to the gas station near Mortensrud. However, the women driving the vehicle cautioned that they have seen many people standing there trying to get rides unsuccessfully and that it is quite dangerous with such a short on ramp so close to the 80 km/h interstate - that [[user:peregrine|Peregrine]] should notify the source of their information that there is a much safer bus stop to hitch from just down the road. Looking more carefully you will find that going south on E6 away from this petrol station, maybe 300 meters, there is in fact a bus stop that may be a better idea...however with the speed of the traffic, maybe only during rush hour...
You can also take the regional train going "Ski" and get off at "Nordstrand" station, one stop after Oslo-S. Once at Nordstrand, turn left and go down the little hill. The large road with a lot of traffic is the [[E18]]. You can walk about 5-10 minutes in the direction of Oslo (turning right) to the Ulvøya Island crossroad. There is a bus stop right after a traffic light and you can get picked up quite easily. Have a sign and avoid anyone going in the direction of [[Stockholm]].
