It is confusing.... The way I've seen it, emporter refers to things you can "carry", like j'emporte mes livres à l'ecole( I take my books to school) , so if I can substitute the word carry for take, I use emporter......prends is for something like, "I take the bus" Je prends le bus. I can't carry the bus so I use prends :-) I hope that helps a little.
