Take the IKEA bus from the crossroad of ''Hallera'' and ''Powstańców Sląskich'' to '''''Bielany''''' shopping center, it's 1 Zloty. Get off in front of IKEA and walk towards the Tesco. In the corner turne left towards the intersection, be careful, it's tricky to cross the street. Follow the road some 50 meters until you reach what I think is some kind of warehouse complex, go around (left side), after some 150 meters you will reach the petrol station. It took me 10 minutes to find a ride.

Note : If you'''NEED TO BE UPDATED''' when the work on the road will be over : A ring road is now finished and most of the traffic re going past Katowice region (for example to the north Kraków), but your driver is passing a few hundred meters away. It's now senseless to hitch at Marino. You still can come to Marino and then walk until you pass the ring "bridge"and hitch turning off A4 there, cars have space to stop on then get off at MOP Rachowice at the speeding up lane. I donoutskirts of Gliwice - it't thinks it worth s a great spot to go find a ride further for now since there is work on the road and cars wont have space to stop and they will not see . Otherwise you. I think they are working on the A8 and I expect the hitch hiking might get stuck in some very bad spot to change when they finishwith only local traffic. The bus 129 (and some others) has some stop after Marino but I don't know the bus stop's name. --[[User:Bikepunk|Bikepunk]] 16:00, 9 August 2011 (CEST)
