== Hitchhiking out ==
Leaving the city can be a drag so better prepare the whole day for that. You can catch a ride from [http://maps.google.it/maps?ll=45.441102,12.315366&spn=0.007242,0.01929&z=16&lci=com.google.webcams&layer=c&cbll=45.441102,12.315366&panoid=ODp2EZxJb52sSOx1mJcf4w&cbp=12,30.75,,0,0 the start of the bridge], but avoid short rides to Mestre. Hitching out of Mestre is really hard, maybe taking a short train ride to better place is the best option. If you arrive by plane at Marco Polo Airport do NOT catch the local bus (lines 5, 15, 45, 45H) inside for €8[April 2017], walk 10 min and head outside of the airport to this point [[https://goo.gl/maps/UCjSG892DJu]] stop name "Tessera Centro". From there you catch the exact same bus for €1.50 buying the ticket from the kiosk in front of the bus stop, right from the hotel (or blackriding).
=== West towards [[Verona]], [[Bologna]] ===
Update: Location of Agip station is correct. Via Vallon has indeed a lot of turns. GPS with OSM (open street map) map (free to download on their website) helped us. In June 2015 on our way from France to Asia, my girlfriend and I hitched there for three hours until we gave up (the only time it happened in weeks of HH). Few cars and almost impossible to catch the attention of drivers. Knowing Italian would have helped to do some active HH. Police came twice to the station, saw us but did not interact.
SLOVENIA/CROATIA: the most efficient way is to take a local ACTV bus to Arino (or train to Dolo+40min walk), small town between Venice and Padova. Once in Arino you can access a petrol station called Arino Est on the motorway A4 from its back entrance [[https://goo.gl/maps/YUor5uAK3UH2]] on "Via Canova, 8 - 30031 Arino VE". Check ACTV website to find the right bus, easy to blackride [[http://actv.avmspa.it/en/]], easy to blackride as well. Be aware than the back side of the petrol station has a gate to the parking lot used by employees, you can jump it if nobody is around or you can ring the doorbell of the restaurant and someone will open it without asking anything[April 2017]. NOTE: between Venice and Slovenia, the last petrol station where you can switch drivers is Gonars, from where you should find a direct ride to Slovenia. At any other petrol station between Gonars and Slovenia You will waste your time and likely get stuck. So from a technical point of view, to Slovenia from Venezia You have two options: either get a direct ride from Arino Est (very easy in the mornings between Monday and Friday between 06:00 and 09:00 when all the trucks leave), either get two rides, first to the petrol station Gonars and from Gonars to Slovenia.
