# The Cliff (Emory)

The Cliff is the shuttle system of Emory University's main Druid Hills campus in Atlanta.
The Cliff is the largest public transportation system in Atlanta other than MARTA. 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. 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.
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. In 2010, the annual ridership was 2,593,851.
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.
Emory Oxford College also has some shuttles serving surrounding areas, including Covington, Conyers, and Duluth.
All vehicles are operated and maintained by Transdev.
