If you find yourself in a car that is passing through Vienna on the eastern ring road, try getting out around the Donau island (German: ''Donauinsel''), close to the river. From here you can walk to a metro-station that usually heads directly towards the centre of Vienna.
You will often find sourself often - yourself, especially at night - , on the E60, passing south of Vienna. '''I dont know if trucks can go there since you have to go through an underpass:''' Jump out at the exit "Campus 21"/"Breitenfurterstrasse" [https://goo.gl/maps/arqWXJGH2eD2 GoogleMaps]. Take care since it is an exit with 2 exits, you should keep as right as possible! About 100m further there is a roundabout where you can jump out and the car can get directly back to the highway. From that roundabout it is about 3km to the next U-Bahn, the final stop of U6. I found this to be the shortest way to get to public transport. If you come at night, there is a so called ASTAX, you call a number, and from the moment when there are enough people that want to go a small bus comes and picks you up, you pay by buying a regular ticket ([http://www.wienerlinien.at/media/download/2015/ASTAX_N64_141310.pdf Number, Schedule, ... in German]). The ASTAX will bring you to the night bus N64 that is driving through basically all Vienna ([http://www.netzplanwien.at/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Nachtnetz-Wien_20131215.pdf map in German for public nightlines in Vienna]).

== Hitching out ==
=== West towards [[Linz]], [[Salzburg]], [[Munich]] {{Aat|1}} {{European Route Number|60}}, ======= Option 1: OMV petrol station on Wiener Straße (A1 ) ====Take train (S50) to ''Wien Wolf in der Au''. Then cross over the bridge. You'll see the petrol station after about 300m to your left. Cross the bridge and then it's a short walk behind the barrier along the side of the road. There is as well a big resting area with service station and hotel nearby which doesn't seem to be a good option.
<ol><li>First choice is a petrol station(OMV) at the "Wiener Straße" that becomes the national route A1 shortly after.==== Option 2 ====Get a train (S50) to "Wien Wolf in der Au" then cross the Bridge. You'll see the petrol station after about 300m to your left. Cross the bridge and then it's a short walk behind the barrier along the side of the road. There is as well a big resting area with service station and hotel nearby which doesn't seem to be a good option.</li><li>Take the U4 to ''Hütteldorf'', get off and go towards ''Hadikgasse'' (left), walk left again, then you are right on the main road leading out of '''Vienna''' towards the A1. There is a bus stop which is a well known hitching spot. Change cars (if necessary) at the [[rest area]]s ''[[Sankt Pölten|St. Pölten]]'' or ''Ansfelden''. Since a direct ride to Salzburg is possible try to avoid "part-rides" and avoid going to St. Polten at all cost- the traffic there is very low and mostly local.<p>From here you can as well get to option "1" by crossing the motorway via the bridge and walk for about 2km to the right.</li></ol>
=== North towards [[Prague]] ===
Take the [http://www.g3-shopping.at/de/anreise-parken free bus to G3 Shopping Center] (May, 2015). The Bus starts from trainstation "Floridsdorf Bahnhof", timetable is on the home page, first bus 08:00am. From where the bus stops, cross the parking lot towards the big street that the bus had taken out of Vienna and cross that street. There is a petrol station "Eni" (the yellow one) and next to that there is a free, unused lane for cars and trucks to stop easily. [https://goo.gl/maps/a9pXqeusHft GoogleMaps Footpath]
=== East towards [[Bratislava]], [[Győr]] and [[Budapest]] {{Aat|4}} {{European Route Number|60}} ===
There is an OMV [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol station]] with a McD on the motorway to Budapest where you can easily find a ride to Bratislava, [[Hungary]] or further.
If your ultimate destination is [[Romania]], then ask your driver to leave you at the [[Hegyeshalom-Nickelsdorf border crossing]] and hitch from there with a sign "RO".
=== South towards [[Graz]], [[Slovenia]], [[Zagreb]] {{Aat|2}}===
Take the free IKEA bus from the Opera ("Oper" Metro Station Karlsplatz: lines 1,2,4) to the SCS ("Shopping City Süd") 8:00/10:00/11:30/13:00/14:30/16:00/17:30 (Feb 2011). If it happens that you don't get a ride and want to use the same bus to come back to town it won't be free any more, it costs 1.50 euro.
