''Redjo27 (Apr 2015): Maybe I was just stupid, but you should walk '''east''' around the tomb (don't enter), since the western way is blocked. At the northernmost point, there is a street going under the highway. Just follow that street until you get to the toll station. You cannot miss it''
''Note 1'' [[nomad: this part of the freeway until Qom is forbidden for trucks, which take the old road. Still, this spot is the best for long distances rides. Catch a lift at least until Qom and ask to be dropped before the toll station at the entrance of Qom (if your driver leaves the freeway). From there it will be easy to catch a ride further South (Esfahan, Shiraz), including with trucks.Tehran]] [[trash:Tehran]]
''Note 2'' : many drivers heading to Esfahan will leave the freeway at Qom and use the old road for the rest of the trip because it is cheaper!

New subway station much closer to below described highway toll station. It's name is '''Aftab Town (شهر آفتاب)''' - "shah-r aftaab" in farsi. Try it out and write here how you walked from the subway to toll station!

Take the metro to '''Haram-e-Motahar (حرم مطهر)''' (Red Line). Walk across Imam Khomeini tomb, under the highway bridge and South along the Freeway to the roadside parking just after the toll station. Overall it's more than 2km of walking but definitely worth it. You can choose your ride from all the cars with people taking a break.
