While Emory University is not near a MARTA station, there are two fairly easy and frequent bus routes that go the the Emory campus.
The best option is bus 6, which departs from the Inman Park and Lindbergh MARTA station. This route goes completely through campus on Clifton and North Decatur Road and has a stop at the Emory Village as well.
You can also ride bus 36 from the Arts Center or Avondale Stations. This bus travels on North Decatur Road.
In addition to access to the university and Emory Village, both routes also provide easy access to the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts and the Marco C. Carlos Museum.

Getting to Zoo Atlanta on MARTA requires taking a bus, as it isn’t close enough to a train station to walk. Some people don’t think much of the buses, but I’ve not had many problems and they usually run on time and take you where you need to go.
Here are your bus options for getting to the zoo:
- Bus 97 from the Civic Center Station. This route will also get you to the Georgia Aquarium, but the drawback is that it is a much longer ride to get to the zoo if you take this route.
- Bus 397 from the King Memorial or Inman Park Station. This bus ride is quite a bit shorter and will get you to the zoo quicker.
The zoo sits in historic Grant Park, which has a nice public pool, wooded paths, playground, tennis and more. The zoo is not very visible from the street, but sits in the southern end of the park. Just let your bus driver know where you plan to go and he/she will help direct you. Next to the zoo you will also find the Cyclorama and Civil War Museum, which has the world’s largest painting (of the Battle of Atlanta).

Little 5 Points is only a 10 minute walk from the Inman Park station. Bus 6 that departs from Inman Park and Lindbergh will also get you there if you don’t want to walk.
But, if you are walking, the fastest route is to exit the train on the Inman Park side of the station, turn right at street level, and take the PATH sidewalk to Euclid Avenue and turn right. If walking after dark, turn left at street level, turn right onto Hurt Street then right onto Euclid.
