The Cliff is the largest public transportation system in Atlanta other than MARTA[dubious – discuss]. It consists of a fleet of 55 buses, all using biofuel. 100% of the fleet is powered by biodiesel created from recycled cooking oil from the school's cafeteria.[1] Most bus routes run in weekdays, while Route C, Toco Hills, and Oxford operates during the weekend. Emory SafeRide is also available during late nights, from 9 pm to 5 am. [2]
The 55 bus fleet consists of 30 feet and 35 feet buses and ParaTransit bus. Buses 201–210, 240, 301-305 are 35 ft buses, Buses 211–233, 306-310 are 30 ft buses, and 241-251 are small (ParaTransit) buses.
As of 2008, average ridership was 200,000 trips per month; daily ridership averaged 2,300 for its park-n-ride routes.[3] In 2010, the annual ridership was 2,593,851.[4]
Woodruff Transit Circle is the biggest transfer point for the Emory Cliff, serving more than 10 routes.
As of December 2023, The Cliff operated 9 campus routes, 5 commuter routes (to Executive Park, Emory's Oxford Campus, South DeKalb Mall, Decatur, and Emory Decatur Hospital), 2 hospital routes including service to Grady and Emory Midtown Hospital; and 1 shopping route (service to the Toco Hills shopping center). Many of the routes also stop at transfer stations with MARTA.[5]
Emory Oxford College also has some shuttles serving surrounding areas, including Covington, Conyers, and Duluth.
All vehicles are operated and maintained by Transdev.
