Public transport is mostly just buses, the locals cycle. Bus tickets are not transferable, you buy a separate one for each bus ride, each costs €1.40. In season, there are oranges everywhere, on every street, dripping off the trees, however they aren't good for eating. == Safety ==Watch out at [[Petrol station hitchhiking|service stations]] in and around Sevilla area for muggers as Sevilla has a history of thefts of truck drivers and other people who stop by. Never leave your stuff alone.
== Hitching out ==
=== West towards [[Huelva]] or [[Portugal]] ===
'''Option 1'''
5/10/2019 Alex hitched a ride to Huelva from the roundabout near Carrefour/Decathlon in less than a minute. There is convenient gravel shoulder that allows cars to stop. (37.3901426, -6.0338260)
The spot is well connected to the bus lines M-141/M-142/M-142B from the bus station Plaza de Armas (€1.40 / 6 minutes)
'''Option 2'''
The entrance to the motorway is exactly beside the bus station ''Plaza de Armas''. Walk towards the motorway and stop after the bridge. On the right side of the street there is a huge crosswalk. The way to Huelva is to the left and the crosswalk is to the right. One hitchhiker had a waiting time of 40 minutes. Thumbing from the intersection ''Camas'', which is the first one after the motorway junction, seems to be a bad option. A hitchhiker who did try, ended up waiting for four hours.
'''Option 23'''Go to Praza Plaza de Armas and take bus M-161 in direction "Tomares". The bus will drive for a couple of minutes on the A-49 direction Huelva (1,40 Euro). Get out at the first bus-stop after the motorway. Walk back to the motorway, walk along the first roundabout and cross the bridge of the motorway. You'll see an IKEA on the left and a bigger roundabout in front of you. Leave the roundabout behind and you'll the a green petrol station.

Ask for a ride to the next petrol station on the motorway which is 20km far.
Wukk hitched a ride after 10 minutes to the next petrol station. From there you get a lot of traffic directly to Portugal.--[[User:Wukk|Wukk]] 17:56, 28 February 2012 (CET)
'''Option 34'''Go to Santa Justa train station and take Cercanias C-5 (Virgen del Rocio - Benacazon), in direction "Benacazon". There is a train each hour for 3,30€. Buy the ticket from Santa Justa to Benacazon. Try to get a ride at the very train station, just ask to reach the town ("¿Me puede llevar a l pueblo?" in spanish) or "Las nieves" petrol station ("Me puede llevar a la gasolinera de las nieves"). If you are unlucky, just walk across the road to the village (the one with a bike lane at the right side, and there ask for the motorway or "Andalusí Park" hotel ("Por donde se va a la autovia" / "Por donde se va al hotel Andalusí Park"). Leave the hotel at your right, walk across the bridge over the motorway and you will see the petrol station. From there you can get a long ride, since the station is far away enough from Sevilla. It has a lot of activity, specialy in summer time. But if everything goes bad, just ask for a ride to the next petrol station in Chucena, a big one with restaurant, lot of services, and many cars and trucks for you to try. My experience: It takes me two minutes to find a car outside the Cercanias station. They took me directly to the petrol station and there === North towards Extremadura ([[Merida]], in 5-10 minutesBadajoz, I found a car to Bollullos Par del Condado, my destinationetc.) & Castilla y León === Option 1
Follow the directions above. Then follow the Camino santiago trail through the fields after 40minutes you should see petrol station on your left. Pass underneath the highway and you should be there. Takes about an hour to walk. This petrol station serves both the highway and the route nacional and plenty of cars stop here going in all directions.
=== North towards [[Madrid]] ===
Take the bus to ''Betis Football Stadium'' (which is in the south of Sevilla, Betis street is in the center). Ask for the direction of the autopista. At the end of the ''Avenida de la Raza'' is a roundabout. Underpass the motorway to the second roundabout and try to get a ride. You can go via the motorway or the parallel road, which also works, since a lot of people want to avoid the motorway toll. But it's slow of course. A sign might be useful.
=== Towards [[Cordoba]] ===
There is also a bus stop on the road between those two petrol stations, with some place for cars to stop after.
== Free Internet Safety ==Tourist office Watch out at the San Francisco square offers 1 hour [[Petrol station hitchhiking|service stations]] in and around Sevilla area for muggers as Sevilla has a history of Internet for freethefts of truck drivers and other people who stop by.
