- [[User:Chillion|Chillion]] <i>"March 2018. This is one magnificent spot. Hitched a ride at on Thursday 12:30pm standing by the gas station sign; waiting time 30mins. Traffic was awful, so got dropped off on a slip road just outside Brno where I hitched a ride into the city. Then followed the Brno hitchhiking page, option 2 (6pm, 30min wait with sign) into Vienna."</i>

Walked some 2 km to the next petrol station, AGP, which is by far not as large, but an alternative for both drivers and hitchhikers. After 20 mins of asking got a straight ride to Brno.</i>
→Option 4: Motorway service station Újezd u Průhonic (BEST WAY TO VIENNA)
- [[User:Duffajfka|Duffajfka]] <i>tested this spot twice in December 2019. It looks theoretically good, the traffic is dense and slow. Some drivers even do minor stops here for carpooling or whatever reasons. However, hitchhiking to Brno didn't work out and after more than an hour I switched for Option 4 both times. For longer rides, it might work better in the morning when not so many locals drive home from work. </i>
==== Option 4: Motorway service station Újezd u Průhonic (BEST WAY TO VIENNA) ====
[[File:ujezdupruhonicprague.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Hitchhikers at Újezd u Průhonic petrol station. Regular local hitchhikers were around, as well as hitchhikers doing the race.]]
Take metro line C (red) to ''Opatov''. Exit straight out of the station and take a lift following the winding red ramp up to street level/the road above. From the bus-stop next to the Replay shop, take the bus X122 to the final stop ''K Sukovu'' (buses leave every 15-30 minutes). As it is in the "P" zone, usual fares and SMS-tickets apply. Continue along the main street which will turn kind of right into Formanská and 20 m ahead it splits into left and right. Stay on the right hand/main road, cross the bridge over the highway and on the right there is a pathway going down to the McDonald's + gas station on the higway. The best jackpot a hitch hiker can hit. <br />
This is the first motorway petrol station past Prague, the best hitchhiking spot but takes some time to get there. Also, you have to have a valid ticket for the bus trip!
