=== Northeast towards [[Łódź]], [[Warsaw|Warszawa]] {{National Road Number Poland|8}} {{E|67}} ===
Take bus 604 to the end of route. From there you have to only cross the tracks on the left and you will be on very long straight road with very wide shoulder of road. Another option to go there is taking the bus D, and go to the end of route and from there you have to cross a few building and go to the road (more or less 800m). You will be in the same place from first option but on the second side of road.
''==== Option 1: Opposite "It's very good place, a lot of times I caught a ride from there directly to Warsaw. If you go to Warsaw use the sign <<Warszawa>>.Wroclaw Psie Pole"'' - Anonymoustrain station ====
It's possible Use [https://jakdojade.pl/wroclaw/trasa/ website] to take find the bus 128, getting off at the stop '''''connection with Wroclaw Psie Pole''''', and walk in the direction of the train stationTrain Station. Start hitching in front of the train station, before the bus stop (the train station is on the opposite side of the road).You can also take to the train from main station "Wrocław Główny" to station "Psie Pole". It's better option than There is bus cause this will take stop so you 20 minutescan hitchhike there just before the bus stop.
=== North towards [[Poznań]], [[Bydgoszcz]] {{National Road Number Poland|5}} {{E|261}} = Option 2: "Wroclaw Lotnisko" A8 motorway exit ====
Take tram 1, 7 or 15 direction '''''Marino''''' and get off at the last stop. Then go to In the other side west of the main road and start hitching at city you can find a roundabout in Graniczna street where it meets with Plaska street, just before the bus stopS8. You will be well seen by the drivers who stop at traffic lightsThere is a shopping centre nearby.You can also take stand in the bus 129 - direction ''Ośrodek Rehabilitacji'', get off at exit of the roundabout with a Warszawa sign. There is just enough place for the cars to stop '''''Marino''''' , and start hitchingthey are going very slow, so they can see you easily.
'''NEED TO BE UPDATED''' when the work on the road will be over ==== Option 3: A ring road is now finished and most of the traffic to the north 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 "bridgeWroclaw Polnoc"and hitch there, cars have space to stop on the speeding up lane. I don't thinks it worth to go further for now since there is work on the road and cars wont have space to stop and they will not see you. I think they are working on the A8 and I expect the hitch hiking spot to change when they finish. 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)motorway exit ====
