Hitching out

Direction West (Bern, Basel)

The most direct option is to go to the petrol stations on the motorway by train and then foot. If you take the S6 (to Wurenlos) or the S12 (to Kilwangen-Spreitenbach), you will be near the service station. The latter transport option is better but also involves walking for around 15 minutes. There is plenty of international traffic here. One can also use this petrol station to go east and south of Zürich by using the opposite side to the Bern/Basel exit.

The bus station Sportweg makes a great hitchhiking spot. It's located right at the motorway entrance, but there's a traffic light, so cars are not too fast. You can either go there directly by bus, or take a tram to Hardturm from where it's five minutes walking.

There are also many S-Bahn trains stopping at the train station Hardbrücke. (Or take bus #33 and #72, whose first stop after Hardbrücke is Pfingstweidstrasse or bus #54 to Sportweg). When you take a train, walk up onto the bridge on the side closer to the city/main station, then turn right and go down the pedestrians ramp, then straight until you reach the main road Pfingstweidstrasse. Turn left, cross the street. You can already start hitching here, there's enough space and cars, or you can walk closer towards the highway. Or walk and hitch together. It's an excellent street.
