-[[User:Jackfang|Jackfang]] The Bowmanville gas station people kicked me out saying that I am not allowed to hitchhike. I was just asking rides without a cardboard. I got a ride at the entrance of the highway 100 meters from the gas station.
NOTE: [[Kingston, Ontario|Kingston]] is well known for being a jailing centre, there are more than 10 prisons in the area. It is a very, very difficult place to get picked up from. If Kingston is not your destination, consider taking a ride that gets you well beyond it. Though, if you're curious, Kingston is one of Ontario's most charming cities, despite all the jails! <= Although this may be true, I still think if you stay close to the highway gas stations, many of the drivers that are simply driving across Ontario know absolutely nothing about Kingston. I get rides easily with Quebec drivers out of Kingston (almost always Quebec drivers) -[[User:Jackfang|Jackfang]]
*''I took the TTC and STC as far as it went and hitched on a not so big cross-road where cars were joining into the 401 going east. It was easy! After three small rides of hitching on random on-ramps I ended up on a beautiful big ONroute gas-station just before Port Hope. There I easily got a truck ride to Montreal. Often I don't use signs, but - USE SIGNS hitching out of Toronto. There are a lot of beggars with cardboard signs, so it's good if your sign says were you're going. The drivers told me they stopped because of that. I just used a sign saying 'east', which worked better than the one saying 'Montreal'. Anyhow, it is possible to hitch out of Toronto. Happy hitching!
