[[User:footsore|footsore]] got a lift all Catch the way commuter train towards Kungsbacka to Malmö from here within 20 the stop '''Kållered''' (10 minutes at 07:00 on ), and as you get off the train walk under the traintracks and forward another 200 meters under the highway and then turn left past supermarkets, IKEA until you see a Saturday morningOKQ8 gasstation.[[User:Tiger|Tiger]] got a lift all Either hitch at the way to Malmö from here within 10 minutes gasstation itself or (more common and normally faster) at 14:00 the onramp on top of the hill. Any ride that will take you 10 km or further is good because that would get you to the gasstation '''Sandsjöbacka''' which is the best gasstation for almost a Friday afternoon100 km down this road.
How to get to Sandsjöbacka:From the Central Station get There is a conductor on the the commuter train towards Kungsbacka (this train seems to be controlled from the front to the back but the journey can be short enough to not need a ticket if who cannot give you are down back), getting off after 10 minutes in Kållered; alternatively, you can take bus number 761 (take any bus going past Mölndalfine, and get off here to take 761) as it goes past Kållered Station, there is much less chance getting caught this way. When only ask you get off the train you'll see a Netto on the other side of the road which has excellent dumpsters should you need to acquire some food. To get to the hitching spot you just walk under the tracks and continue for another 100 meters or so until after you cross the highway where you turn left directly and follow the highway for about 5-10 minutes. You'll walk past Ikea (at which point there will be buy a Willys visible which also has excellent food-acquiring potential) and and a petrol station (OKQ8 petrol station).There are two hitching spots.1) Talk to people at ticket/leave the petrol stationtrain, or stand on the exit of the petrol station (If you only very occasionally are going to Malmö, there actual ticket inspectors who board this is a good option as most people will be refuelling for a longer journey)2) Walk up the hill and hitch at the on-ramp. Any ride that's 5 or more kilometers is good as it will take you to [[Sandsjöbacka]] rest area which is one of the best places to find a ride to directly to [[Malmö]] or even [[Denmark]] and [[Germany]]. Bear in mind that Sandsjöbacka is the last rest area for at least 60 kilometers that's on the highway so it's much recommended to stop there to avoid getting stuck at a small on-ramp somewhere.'''Note''': A 24 hour hamburger restaurant is located next to the OKQ8 petrol stationtrain.
[[User:Tiger|Tiger]] Adds: An easy option is to try and get a ride towards Kungsbacka form anywhere in the city and ask them to drop you off at Sandsjöbacka rest stop. This can be achieved at any convenient to stop location with a sign and might be both easier and quicker than public transport.
''Option 3'' If you want to hitch from town, some hitchhikers have found the The petrol station on the large crossing where the road Ullevigatan joins the E20 was is just a great spot. Walking 10-15 minute walk from the central station is 10-15min walk but according to [[User:thomasmyrman|thomasmyrman]] and [[User:Tiger|Tiger]] agrees . Some hitchhikers have reported great successes with this a difficult spot. The only way while others have waited very long times to get a ride here . It is by asking drivers that stop, of which near the big stadium Nya Ullevi and if you prefer it there are not many. Many here were not leaving Göteborg, most drivers stop at this petrol station is a busstop on their way into Göteborg. [[User:Tiger|Tiger]] got a ride towards Kungsbacka after a bit the road outside of Nya Ullevi where people can pull over an hour hereeasily, standing by the traffic lights before the "round about" seemed however that spot only tends to be the spot where the most drivers pass on their way south from here, other locations get good with a good very little south bound traffic. There is a small area if you follow the road towards malmö visible sign so that people notice you can walk to (where is this?) where cars can maybe stop but it is not ideal, '''use different spot if possibleactually hitchhiking.'''

'''Option 1- Onramp in Kållered''' [[User:Liftarkungen|Liftarkungen]] thinks that the best place to start hitchhiking south from Göteborg is "[[Sandsjöbackamotet]]", which is situated south of Mölndal. However it is time consuming and quite an adventure to get there. Use www.hitta.se or google maps in order to find directions. Or see [[Sandsjöbackamotet]]. Locals may only know it as the big Shell station along the road.
[[User:blue.Day|blue.Day]] Adds: Initially tried on ramp, however many people where disinterested to slow down, although a few showed good spirit. Much better luck working on the exit of the petrol station; stayed at on ramp for 45 minutes. Moved upon advice of local to exit of petrol station and picked up after 3rd car exiting, direct to Malmö.
'''Option 23 If you want to hitch from town'' Take the bus ("grön express" recommended, stops by just a few meters from the trucks) to "Stigs center" north of Göteborg. A lot of trucks stop by to pause here and there's a good chance you'll get a ride. If nothing else you can find a ride to the location in option 1.
