Emery Go-Round is a fare-free public bus system in Emeryville, California. It also provides service to small portions of the adjacent cities of Oakland and Berkeley. Service is funded primarily by commercial property owners through a citywide transportation business improvement district.[2] The name, a play on the term merry-go-round, is a reference to both Emeryville founder Joseph Stickney Emery and the bus routes, which are loops beginning and ending at MacArthur BART Station.
