Public transport is very cheap for a western European city. A 24 hour pass is only EUR 3,.50 EUR, for EUR 4,.80 EUR you get a 24 hour pass for 3 persons.
== Hitchhiking out ==
Walking (from Strasbourg centre) to Kehl takes about 50 minutes if you go the shortest route (check google maps!).
Alternatively, you can take the regional train (around 6 minutes for about €3EUR 3) or the bus (line #21; one bus every 30 min; €1,EUR 1.30; takes longer than the train). The bus stops in several places from "Ancienne Douanne" (in the centre) through to the east side of the city. On Sunday the first bus leaves at 9:30 am.
By train, for 2 euro more, you can continue after [[Kehl]] till Appenweier. From there you can walk or hitchhike to the petrol station "Rasthof [[Renchtal]]" (2,5 km check the route on maps.google.com or see [[Renchtal]] for details ). It can be a good alternative to Kehl because in 30 minutes more, you're on the German motorway network.
Take the tram (red line) to Illkirch Lixenbuhl and then the bus (line 2) to Ostwald Eglise. From the bus stop, with your back to the church, turn right and walk down the road towards the big house around some green fields at the junction.You then turn right and you keep walking up this road parallel to the the Nachtweid forest.
A small road runs along its edge and leads to the first petrol station on the A35 motorway. This is for traffic going '''SOUTHsouth''' towards Mulhouse and Switzerland.
Across from this is the second petrol station for the '''NORTHnorth''' (Metz, Saarbrucken, etc). You can access this from a muddy path beside the bridge.
=== Going North ([[Metz]], [[Saarbrücken]], [[Paris]]) ===
Take a regional train direction ''Brumath/Mommenheim'' and make sure it stops at ''Stephansfeld''. From there you can walk within 15 min to the gas station ''Aer de Seervice Brumath'' on the A4 and start hitchhiking straight at the gas station.
The trainticket from Strasbourg to Stephansfeld costs EUR 3.50 € (2011).
=== Going west ===
# Join the A4 by the "going north route" (see upper). Good solution for Paris.
# Join the N4: take the "bus interurbain" [http://www.cts-strasbourg.fr/Portals/0/PDF/horaires/interurbains/hiver/205.pdf #205],[http://www.cts-strasbourg.fr/Portals/0/PDF/horaires/interurbains/hiver/206.pdf #206 or #207] from "Ancienne synagogue-Les Halles" or "Gare Centrale" to Ittenheim (1,80 euros). From Ittenheim's bus stop, walk till the entry of the village (3 minutes), and you're on the best spot of the N4 to leave Strasbourg. This road has the advantage to be free of fees so many cool people use it. I recommend it to go to Metz and Nancy cause you don't loose a lot of time compared to motorways and you have many more chances to get a lift. Very efficient, I never waited more than 5 minutes there!
