PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid
Transit Authority (MARTA) (www.itsmarta.com)
provides bus and rail service from campus to downtown and other areas around
Atlanta. Fare is $1.50— includes both bus and rail service. Monthly passes can
be purchased at MARTA ticketing booths or at the Emory Information Desk in the
DUC (at a reduce fare). Schedules and maps of bus routes are available free of
charge online or at MARTA information booths.
Transportation to and
from the airport can be provided by MARTA and is highly recommended due to the
limited amount and high cost of parking in airport lots. Taxi service from the
airport to the Emory area is also available for approximately $30.00. Hotel
limousines can also be used to get to the major hotels in the area.
If you are planning on
using MARTA as your primary mode of transportation in Atlanta, it is a good idea
to research the availability of the service both through MARTA and with the
apartment complexes you are looking at. Please note that transportation to
Emory is limited to buses only. Free parking is available at many of the
perimeter stations.
