=== Northwest and North towards Interior of São Paulo State, [[Goiania]] and [[Brasília|Brasilia]] ===
Make your way to [[''Jundiai]] '' by train. From the centre of Sao São Paulo go to Metro station ''Luz Station '' 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. Their 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 . If not there are always truckdrivers 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.
''"I waited a long time at one petrol station because I was lazy and couldn't be bothered asking people. I did find a ride after two hours to Campinas which left me having to do the same thing again at another Petrol Station. I let a few rides go because many motorists didn't know the town i wanted to go to even though it was on their way"'' - The author and hitch-hiker.
* '''Posto Farol'''
From ''Terminal do Metro Armenia'' (near metro Metro station ''Armenia'') take bus 384 to ''Itaquaquecetuba'' and tell the driver that you want to get off at '''''Posto Farol''''' at Rodovia Dutra . It's a big service station and truck stop, perfect to ask around. It has a Shell petrol station.
Presidente Dutra is the name of BR-116, the main motorway connecting Rio and São Paulo which passes close to the airport near Guarulhos.
* '''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.
* '''CEASA Guarulhos'''
=== South towards [[Curitiba]] ===
* '''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 6 pm. 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.

* '''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 town of ''Itapecerica''. From the same praça take bus 030 to ''Jaquitiba'' (2.75 reais) and tell the driver that you want to get off at pédagio (toll plaza). Hitch slightly behind the toll booths. * '''Posto in Embu das Artes'''Well - you take a city bus from the main bus station direction Another option to get to Embu - actually the bus pedágio is going to Itapecerica da Serra and costs about 5,5 reais (less than 2 rides with normal bus inside of the city of São Paulo) and you ask the driver to let you out on BR116,where it will be possible to hitchhike - it282 from ''Terminal Tietê''s just before he turns to Itapecerica da Serra. The drive with a bus is about 1,5 hours through all the São Paulo - as its but the last one of the biggest cities on the world leaves at 6 pm and to get to some place normal to catch a ride its bit complicated. Do not get out on Embu yet (it looks bit favelado over there). Close to the trevo - crossroads of leaving the bus going to Itapecerica (turning out from highway) is a gas station. It's about 200 meters further on the road where you can ask the people where they are going. Lot of trucks are stopping there as well. -- Suzann Here is the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDkcAxUD-No video] made on the placeweekends 4 pm.
