East towards Pescara, L'Aquila
== Hitching out ==
 
=== North towards [[Firenze]], [[Milano]] ===
==== Option 1 ====
Take bus 92 from Termini, get off at Salaria ("Prati Fiscali/Salaria" no to be confused with the street named "Via Salaria" wich is quite a few stops before the actual "Salaria" stop). Its is right at the entrance of some kind of motorway (wich is not yet the highhay, the pay toll ("pedaggio") entering on highway A1 is still about 6 km away). You can walk along this two-lanes motorway and find a petrol station a few hundreds meters further up. There, ask for a ride to the highway. People could also be heading to [[Rieti]] (''check this name''), ask them if they can let you at the pay toll ("casello"), where there is a petrol station right before. [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] and [[User:Amylin|amylin]] waited 20 minutes for a ride (which is a lot less than the average waiting time in Italy). Reminder: this is '''not''' a good neighborhood with plenty of prostitutes. Hitching after 22:00 is not recommended, nor is girls hitching alone here. 25 Sept 2009: Men picking women up here are likely to ask for sex. Even at the next gas station. Don't be too eager to get in the car here, choose wisely!
==== Option 2 ====
'''A)''' [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Eni+Salaria+Est/@42.0045509,12.5272698,428m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x132f6196f9928ebb:0xb90f770693656e38!2sRome,+Metropolitan+City+of+Rome!3b1!8m2!3d41.9027835!4d12.4963655!3m4!1s0x132f660a0d488fbb:0x2dbde5837b566932!8m2!3d42.004548!4d12.5288935?hl=en This] is a petrol station on the motorway A1 towards Firenze. To get there, take the metro (costs 1.5 euro) to "Tiburtina", and from there a regional train to "Settebagni". It takes 20 minutes, leaves every 15 minutes on weekdays and costs 1 Euro. You can follow [https://goo.gl/maps/RSDE7BRwM4x this route] to the footbridge over the motorway which leads you to the petrol station - the road is called Via dell'Inviolatella Salaria. You shouldn't walk more than about 20-25 minutes from the station. Until Firenze, there are around 5 more petrol stations to change cars, so it goes quite well. The last one is 5 km before Firenze.
As of November 2019 Via dell'Inviolatella Salaria remains blocked by a construction site at the hairpin turn of Via della Maremma''B)''' [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=42.010805,12.51824&num=1&t=h&sll=42.00736,12.52286&sspn=0.016583,0.032015&ie=UTF8&ll=42.009525, around halfway there12.521281&spn=0.

Also as of November 2019, the restaurant at this station is closed for renovations of some kind. The gas station remains open, and there are still bathrooms and a coffee machine, but in the experience of [user:movethathoof|Movethathoof] many people pull in, see the restaurant is closed, and zoom right out again. '''Option 3''' to Grosseto
'''Problem''': If you don't find the wayTake bus to Maglianella/Riserva Di Torretta, or if the way is blocked (e.g. in March 2014, by and walk a massive building site), it is really really hard to get little bit forward to the spot. There are swampshighway and turn left, loads of fenceswalk 20meters, private propertythere is a bus stop  « Aurelia/Brava », tremendously overgrown ramps and murderous blackberry bushes. Local people don't seem to know anything about the little footbridge, so you need a big place for car to be quite determinedstop.

To Grosseto: Take bus to Maglianella/Riserva Di Torretta=== South towards [[Napoli]], and walk a little bit forward to the highway and turn left, walk 20meters, there is a bus stop  « Aurelia/Brava », a big place for car to stop.[[Sicily]] ===
=== South towards [[Napoli]], [[Sicily]] ==='''Option 1''' First Option: This is the first gas station on the highway connecting Rome to the A1 highway going south. It's still inside the city, so very easy to reach, but it's already on the highway. There is a fence on the back but if you look trough some bushes where a little building is, the fence is broken and easy to climb, or there is an hole in the bottom (to be updated if they fix it). Go to Anagnina station either by metro or by bus (it's one of the biggest terminal in Rome) take the bus 046 and stop at "carnevale lettere", the gas station is only 400 m away. Walk back for a few meters cross the road and turn right on via cavaglieri, and then the first left, and at the end of the street there is the gas station. there are also other buses going around the area (500, 504...) just use the route planner of public transport to see what's the best for you

Second '''Option: 2''' Take Line No. 105 (Staz. ne Grotte Celoni) to the stop '''Casilina/Tor Vergata'' (29 stops), walk 150 meters, go to stop ''Tor Vergata/Casilina'', take Line No. 507 (Anagnina (Ma)) to ''Heidelberg'' (4 stops) take Line No. 509 (Fosso del Cavaliere/CNR) to ''Fosso del Cavaliere/CNR'' (2 stops). Follow the sign Napoli to your right and then at keep left at the tournabout. Bus stops are a good indication that you're on the right path. ''Via del Fosso del Cavaliere'' takes you to the other side of the motorway, and from there keep walking towards the IP Frascati Ovest gas station; you can enter it from the backside. Don't bother about "forbidden entrance". And now you can continue hitchhiking towards Napoli/Sicily.
Just take bus 105 and then get off after 29 stops and follow the sign Napoli to your right and then at keep left at the tournabout. Bus stops are a good indication that you're on the right path. ''Via del Fosso del Cavaliere'' takes you to the other side of the motorway, and from there keep walking towards the gas station; you can enter it from the backside. Don't bother about "forbidden entrance". And now you can continue hitchhiking towards Napoli/Sicily.
=== East towards [[Pescara]], [[L'Aquila]] ===
From Termini go by metro line B to Ponte Mammolo station, and there you can take bus 508 (that is first station) and go untill last station - Mondavio. That is one long ride and you will come close to crossroad of second ring of highway around Rome and highway from Rome to east [Pescara, L Aquila]. Actually from that last station (Mondavio),you have walking around 500m to highway and then choose left to toll (around 1000m) or right to gas station (the same distance). We were walking on the highway which is illegal, but we had a luck not to be caught by police. Link for buses and metro in Rome: http://www.atac.roma.it/index.asp

There's a much more practical option if you want to head east. It's a gas station at the very beginning of A24 on the outbound side. GPS coordinates are: [https://www.google.com/maps?q=41.900767,12.549775 41.900767, 12.549775]While the gas station described above has got traffic heading other directions already filtered out, this one serves people going multiple directions, but is way closer to the city center, easier to reach and still very effective. From Roma Termini, ride subway line B towards Rebibbia, and get off at Monti Tiburtini. From there, walk down the main road until you're just past the second overpass (exact coordinates here: 41.902511, 12.556836). From there, walk up the off-ramp trying to keep behind the guardrail. At some point youOption 1'll have to walk on the very road because of a fence surrounding a canal, but you can climb back over the guardrail after that. At the end of the off-ramp, you'll have to walk on the motorway again, but it's just a very short distance, and a part of it is ever sheltered by a concrete divider. The gas station is just a few meters down the road. My friend and I (two boys) tried this in October 2017 and it was fine. The staff was very tolerant, they told us we were fine as long as we didn't stand under the covered part of the station, but there's plenty of other areas to ask people, like the parking lot and the self-service lot. We got a ride after 30 minutes, and it took us 4 rides to make it all the way to Teramo.
== Public transport ==There were hardly any checks on tickets in busesFrom Termini go by metro line B to Ponte Mammolo station, and there you could even can take a bus from [[Sabaudia]] 508 (90 kilometers awaythat is first station) without paying for a ticket - until November 2007, when there was an increase in the number of officials checking for tickets on buses and trams in Romago untill last station Mondavio. This That is said one long ride and you will come close to be a direct result crossroad of second ring of new systems in the metro requiring less man-power therehighway around Rome and highway from Rome to east [Pescara, L Aquila]. Just keep your eyes openActually from that last station Mondavio, officials are easy you have walking around 500m to spot highway and then choose left side walk to avoidRoma Est Strada dei Parchi toll around 1 km or right side walk to Eni A24 Colle Tasso Sud gas station 1 km. In 2009We were walking on the highway which is illegal, some people were fined in but we had a tram; they were luck not to be caught while they were leaving. You can buy tickets in bars or in news-stallsby police.
'''Option 2''' There's a much more practical option if you want to head east. It is 's a Q8 Easy gas station at the very hard to be fined for not having a ticket in Romebeginning of A24 on the outbound side. GPS coordinates are: [https://www.google.com/maps?q=41.900767,12.549775 41.900767, 12.549775] While the gas station described above has got traffic heading other directions already filtered out, this one serves people going multiple directions, but it may happen (as of 2017). One good method is way closer to the city center, easier to purchase a ticket but not validate itreach and still very effective. From Roma Termini, ride subway line B towards Rebibbia, and get off at Monti Tiburtini. Spend your journey beside one of From there, walk down the main road until you're just past the yellow validation machines second overpass (check it is not "out of service" first - fuori servizioexact coordinates here: 41.902511, 12.556836). From there, so that in case an official checkers arrives, you can validate it. You can walk up the off-ramp trying to keep going for months like this in Romebehind the guardrail.If At some point you want 'll have to take walk on the metro you need very road because of a fence surrounding a ticket. In some metro stations canal, but you can try to enter 2 people with 1 ticket if no officials are looking.If you are using climb back over the "trenino" (small train) from ''Termini'' to ''Centocelle'', keep in mind guardrail after that at . At the 2 end stations (Roma Laziali at Terminiof the off-ramp, and Centocelle) you 'll have to validate the ticket like walk on the metro motorway again, but at any other station you donit'ts just a very short distance, and a part of it is ever sheltered by a concrete divider. So you can The gas station is just walk one station and board on a few meters down the road. Place also is 5oo metres away from Roma Prenestina train.stop == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
