Changes

Especially during rush hour, there is faster way to get to the on-ramp at the A2: Take the ''KM3'' (short for ''Kolej Mazowieckie'') train in direction of [[Łowicz]] or [[Sochaczew]] (sometimes only going to [[Błonie]]) and get of at the station ''Gołąbki''. From the pedestrian crossing over the tracks you can already spot the highway's noise barrier to the north-west. Follow the road on the norhern northern side of the train station to the north, turn right at the next crossing and the road should lead you through an underbridge under-bridge under the highway after a couple of minutes. After, you cross the road and arrive at the on-ramp described in ''Option #1''.

Tickets cost probably a few zlotyszloty's, make sure you buy one before entering the train (alternatively you can buy one in the train in the first car).

This option is best when you have to get from the northern districts of the city to a good spot. Take bus 103, 122, 180, 186 or 409 and get off at '''Gen. Maczka''' (noteNote: bus stops only on request here!). Hitch right from the bus stop where bus 186 in direction ''Szczęśliwice'' stops. Holding a sign with A2 might help to avoid inner city traffic. The S8 starts here and eventually changes into the A2 to [[Poznań]].

When you get out at the station in ''Ożarów Mazowiecki'' (make sure you keep an eye out for the correct station, Ożarów Mazowiecki only has one sign at the end of the station) just leave the station to the right (facing away from Warsaw) and follow Marii Konopnickiej Street until you reach a bigger street, Poznańska (about 500m). Another few hundred meters to the East you will find a bus stop with plenty of space to stop (it's across the street from the church). It's just one lane, cars are going quite slow and you avoid a great deal of local traffic out of Warsaw. Even though this is the old main road to the West and some drivers, especially trucks, take it to avoid the highway fees it wil will probably take longer then using the highway.

Get to shopping centre '''''Centrum Janki''''' (see direction Kraków, option 2 for details). Once you're there, notice that the road splits into two separate roads. The western one is the national road no. 8 (E67) which is located between IKEA and shopping mall. Further down the road there is a wide shoulder where you can hitch, however cars go quite fast here. If you find it hard hitchhiking there you can walk about 3km down the road to McDonalds'''that''' hamburger restaurant . There's also a gas petrol station, it may be easier to hike from there, as most cars stop there before longer drives.

Go to the Metro Station ''Młociny '' and take bus [http://ztm.waw.pl/rozklad_nowy.php?c=182&l=1&a=114&n=6059&o=03&k=B 114]) towards ''Młociny-UKSW'' . Get off at the stop called '''''Dzierżoniowska ''''' (press the stop button as the bus doesn't always stop there; the list of bus stops is within the bus itself and all bus stops are visibly marked). Go back to trafic traffic lights next to McDonalds'''that'' burger restaurant, there is a lot of space for cars to stop.

Much of the regular buses and trams now have more ticket controllers, as prices of tickets have been raised. Compared to other European cities tickets are still cheap and can be bought everywhere. The easiest is a single ticket for 3,60zl.60zł, about eur 0,.90 euro.

There's an internet cafe café at the metro station ''Centrum''. Walk up the stairs from where the trains are to the balcony-like floor, it's located here at '''DHL Service''', nr. 2001D. Open all days from 08.00-22.00.
