''My personal advice is not to confuse drivers with 'D' signs or 'Arnhem' or 'Apeldoorn' as those are locations further away. The priority should be to get to any fuel station on the highway where by talking to people you can get a ride even as far as to Lithuania or Bulgaria. So a ride just for 20km to the first station is all what you need. Thus, I would recommend just putting 'Utrecht' on your sign - which is very clear and close. Once you are off the highway entrance you will not need a board anyway any more, then you can talk to people on the fuel stations. If you speak good English Dutch people will most likely take you if they can. [[User:Rozwal|Rozwal]]''

=== West towards Hoek van Holland and ferries to [[England]] ===
The ferries from the Hook of Holland to England do not often carry trucks and therefore do not always offer free options. To get to the ferry terminal you can blackride the train to Hoek Van Hollland Haven. You can also hitch there from one of the many service stations on the A20 with someone going on the ferry. After speaking to drivers on the A20, most trucks passing through there terminate at the port, which means no free ferry. That being said, you could hitch to where they terminate and continue to Calais, though I have not tried this;
===Trams===
About 99.99% of trams will have a ticket inspector. Board the tram at the rear and have 2.50 euro ready to pay (it is best to have a Dutch chip card since then you pay for a distance and not per ride - and for few stops you will pay between 0.5 - 1 euro instead of 2.50 without it). The inspector (wearing an ugly yellow and black jacket with green, red and purple stripes) will have to walk the length of the entire tram checking tickets before he/she reaches you. Hopefully you have reached the stop by this time, if not just give the inspector the 2.50 euro for the ticket as though you were waiting to buy one from them. This is common practice.
 
===Metro===
The Metro is harder to blackride, you'll have to follow somebody going through the gates very closely. Make sure nobody's watching, though.
Or, if there is elevator, which probably will be somewhere close to station, but not near the main entrance. Next to elevator it will be OV-Chipkaart terminal and no gates. In lot of stations there are no security, as lot of them looks like traditional railway stations.
__NOTOC__

== Internet ==
Most McDonalds McD restaurants in the city have wi-fi and, if you are discreet, you can use them without buying anything. The central library also has free wi-fi. Get a "guest pass" from the machine on the ground floor and log in with the details printed on it (the library connection, however, blocks everything but port 80 -- that is, except simple web browsing).
