== Hitchhiking out ==
 
=== Northwest and North towards Interior of São Paulo State, [[Goiania]] and [[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.
 
''"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.
=== East towards [[Rio de Janeiro]] (BR-116) ===
''It is also very possible to hitch on the road (Dutra) near the bus stops. Simply ask for a intercity bus that goes to the dutra, and start hitching there. While some people do not like hitching directly along the highway, I had no problems getting a ride quickly. Most of the time, there is a wide shoulder, and a grassy area where you can stand. Many people stop their cars on this shoulder regularly, so it is not a problem for them to stop'' - two different anonymous hitchhiking friends.
=== North towards [[Belo Horizonte]] ===''please add info'' === South towards [[Curitiba]] (BR-116)===
* '''Posto Fase Quatro'''
* '''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. Another option to get to the pedágio is bus 282 from ''Terminal Tietê'', but the last one leaves at 6 pm and on weekends 4 pm.
