'''São Paulo''' is the capital of the state which bears the same name.
It is the largest city in [[Brazil]] with over 20 million people inhabiting the [[metropolitan area]]. Partly because of this, the city presents difficulties in gaining rides to the place you want to go. To make life easier you may be able to get buses out of the city but trains are generally a cheaper option then using a local bus in that locality to locate the freeways and the petrol stations. Paulistas aren't the most open people to hitchhikers , indeed in Brazil it's not too common. Truck drivers are generally a better bunch to ask and will be usually going further in terms of distance.The state of São Paulo has over 40 million inhabitants and statistically responsible for around 40% of the country's GDP. == Hitchhiking out == === East towards [[Rio de Janeiro]] (BR-116) ===
There are generally 2 freeways * '''Posto Farol'''From ''Terminal do Metro Armenia'' (near Metro station ''Armenia'') take bus 384 to ''Itaquaquecetuba'' and tell the driver that head in principle directions due you want to get off at '''''Posto Farol''''' at Rodovia Dutra . It's a big service station and truck stop, perfect to the large volumes of trafficask around. It has a Shell petrol station.The state Presidente Dutra is the name of BR-116, the main motorway connecting Rio and São Paulo has over 40 million inhabitants and statistically responsible for around 40% of which passes close to the country's GDPairport near Guarulhos.
==Hitching Out==* '''Pedágio Arujá'''Around four kilometres further up the road from ''Posto Farol'' there is a toll plaza in the city of '''''Arujá'''''. You can get closer by bus 384, the same that goes from Metro ''Armenia'' to the ''Posto Farol''. The toll plaza has a lay-by to pull over, so some trucks stop there. Hitch further away from the toll booths, if you're too close you'll be sent further away anyways.
===Nortwest and North towards Interior * '''CEASA Guarulhos'''For something different head to the CEASA (Central de Abastecimento de Alimentos) in Guarulhos. From here its possible to get a truck anywhere in Brazil, the size of the place is overwhelming at first. CEASAs are centres of sale for producers of São Paulo State, [[Brasilia]] & [[Goiania]]===food.
Make your way ''I had to [[Jundiai]] by train. From sleep in the centre of Sao Paulo go to Luz Station and get Ceasa waiting for the A train. The fare is around R$ 2.60 Once you get to Jundiai station you will need one truck going to walk or get a bus through the city to either one of Bolivian border but the Rodovias Anchieta or Bandeirantes. Their is a ''posto de gasolina'' truckies looked after us and we had free showers and truck stop a little north of the city on the Rodovia Anchieta. Lunchtime is good to find a ''caminhoneirofood'' (truck driver) if not there are always truckdrivers trying to fix their trucks. Have a map on you so you familiarise yourself with the many cities in the area when asking for lifts- two anonymous hitchiking friends.
''"I waited It is also very possible to hitch on the road (Dutra) near the bus stops. Simply ask for a long time at one petrol station because I was lazy intercity bus that goes to the dutra, and couldn't be bothered asking start hitching there. While some people. do not like hitching directly along the highway, I did find had no problems getting a ride after two hours to Campinas which left me having to do quickly. Most of the same thing again at another Petrol Stationtime, there is a wide shoulder, and a grassy area where you can stand. I let Many people stop their cars on this shoulder regularly, so it is not a few rides go because many motorists didn't know the town i wanted problem for them to go to even though it was on their way"stop'' - The author and hitch-hikertwo different anonymous hitchhiking friends.
===To South towards [[Rio de JaneiroCuritiba]](BR-116)===
* '''Posto Fase Quatro'''
From ''Terminal Tieté'' (Metro station ''Portuguesa-Tieté'') take bus 164 to ''Itapecerica da Serra'' and get off at the exit from BR-116 to ''Itapecerica''. Tell the driver to stop ''em saida da Biittencourt pra Itapecerica''. It should cost you around 7 reais. From there walk along the motorway for around 300m until you get to '''''Posto Fase Quatro''''' with Shell petrol station. The ride with a bus is about 1.5 hours through all the São Paulo, but the bus passes close to the Metro station ''Cidade Jardim'', so you can catch it there to save time. Another option to get to the posto is bus 282 also from ''Tietê'', but the last one leaves at 18:00. This one passes close to the Metro station ''Butanta'' and costs around 8 reais. Régis Bittencourt is the name of BR-116 connecting São Paulo and Curitiba.
Here is the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDkcAxUD-No video] made on the place.
There again exist two freeways (rodovias) out of Sao Paulo * '''Pedágio São Lourenço da Serra'''From Metro station ''Capão Redondo'' take either bus 001 or 340 to ''Itapecerica da Serra'' and get off at ''Praça Belchior de Pontes'' in the direction town of Rio de Janeiro''Itapecerica''. One is Presidente Dutra which heads closer From the same praça take bus 030 to ''Jaquitiba'' (2.75 reais) and tell the Airport near Guarulhos, along here there are many posto de gasolina. For something different head driver that you want to the Ceasa get off at pédagio (Truck Depottoll plaza) in Guarulhos. From here its possible Hitch slightly behind the toll booths. Another option to get a truck anywhere in Brazilto the pedágio is bus 282 from ''Terminal Tietê'', but the size of the place is overwhelming last one leaves at first18:00 and on weekends 16:00.
''"I had to sleep in the Ceasa waiting for the one truck going to the Bolivian border but the truckies looked after us === Northwest and we had free showers North towards Interior of São Paulo State, [[Goiania]] and food"'' - two anonymous hitchiking friends[[Brasília|Brasilia]] ===
Make your way to ''Jundiai'' by train. From the centre of São Paulo go to Metro station ''Luz'' and get the A train. The fare is around R$ 2.80
Once you get to ''Jundiai'' station you will need to walk or get a bus through the city to either one of the Rodovias Anchieta or Bandeirantes. There is a ''posto de gasolina'' (petrol station) and truck stop a little north of the city on the Rodovia Anchieta. Lunchtime is a good time to find a ''caminhoneiro'' (truck driver). If not there are always truck drivers trying to fix their trucks. Have a map on you so you familiarise yourself with the many cities in the area when asking for lifts.
===To North towards [[Belo Horizonte]] (BR-381)===''please add info''There is a gas station with a McDonalds on the BR-381, not very far from São Paulo city and reachable by bus. It is not very big, but you can definitely get a lift to the next, larger one.It is easy to get there with a bus, but it takes a lot of time (a journey of around one hour).Bus 1783-10 you can take from the metro L1 Santana station, it departs every 20 minutes. Bus 2023-10 departs from the same metro line L1, but three stations further north, Tucuruvi. Check google maps to be sure where to take the bus, and if the route still exists. Ask the driver for Rodoviaria Fernão Dias, it is the name of the motorway BR-381 going direction Belo Horizonte. The busses bring you very close to the motorway, and then you have 3 minutes walk till the gas station. You will have to cross the motorway over the bridge.
There you can ask drivers. There are very few cars going to Minas Gerais, but a lot of those driving at least till [[Atibaia]].
Just at the very beginning of Atibaia there comes a Petrobras gas station with "Frango Asado" restaurant. There is more traffic, and lots of people travelling to Minas Gerais stop for a meal there.
