Alternatively take Option 1 - Where the motorway ended - there is bus 200 that goes from the City, you can catch it to the stop ''Avtjerna'' and hitch from the bustop. All motorway has ended and it is just country road all the way to Bergen. The con with this option is that it only about leaves once an hour (and once every 2 hours on sunday), but if you time it well you will be fine. Option 2 - Closer to the city on a onramp - 10 minutes walking. Catch a train to Sandvika, when you get off the train walk in the direction the train was moving for 100 meters, turn right and then left on the bigger road (Elias Smiths Vej), follow the road until a roundabout and turn right, and you will see the entrance to the motorway. Option 3 - Far out of the city -Take the train to "Honefoss", walk up the hill and out to the road, and there is an information point where it's easy for drivers to pull in- all traffic from Oslo to Bergen goes past this point. Option 4 - Petrol station near the city. There is a '''Petrol Station''' on the Drammensvein heading west (next to the Mercedes and BMW buildings). Many people leaving Oslo in the morning to go to the surrounding suburbs for work stop there for petrol. You can reach it by walking from the city center (around 4 km on a footpath along the Drammensvein) or by Bus (TE 1,4,8, 10 or 14 till Martim). from here you can easily ask drivers if they are going to one of the spots mentioned above. Remember that most cars will not be going very far.

Hitchhiking from Oslo to Bergen can be pretty challenging in winter. I have tried from west of Oslo and without any luck I turned to the area where the goods terminals located. It is in the north east side of the city. Keep in mind most of the trucks are using RV 7 to go to Bergen and try to avoid being left at the small towns like Gol, Hemsedal which can prove very hard to get out of.

=== West towards [[Bergen]] ===
To get to Bergen, take the local train out to "Sandvika", from where you can either take a bus or walk along the road (quite a few k's) until it turns from dual carriageway to a simple country road, where you can just hitch along the side. Nikkou had trouble finding a good place to hitchhike on the road so he had to walk uphills and downhills to the entrance to Brennetunnelen where an emergency phone is located and cars can pull in easily. Consider choosing another spot.
If you want to cover a long distance by a truck your best chance to get a truck to your destination from Schenker Goods Terminal near Alna Senter. From the central station you can eighter take subway to Tveita Metro stop and walk across the E6 by Ytre Ringvei or take the train to Alna. You will not miss huge Schenker sign board. It is forbidden to enter the terminal area so wait outside the gate at the Alnabruveien and Terminalveien with a sign of your destination, by doing this you would also catch up a ride by Tollpost Globe ASs trucks. The trucks continues on Alnabruveien keeps eighter on the E6 South, E18 West or E16. Trucks leaving for E6 north turn into Terminalveien.
