Megabus Austin reclaims a forgotten 1940s gas station, transforming it into a streamlined transit hub in the heart of downtown. Located on a high-visibility corner lot, the project preserves the original building’s character while adapting it for contemporary use.

The existing canopy and structural frame were retained and restored, offering shelter and identity without erasing history. Minimal, modern interventions provide clear access and intuitive flow for travelers, balancing the raw charm of the old with the demands of a modern-day bus stop.

What was once a neglected relic now serves as a compact, urban node—an adaptive reuse that connects people while anchoring itself in place and time.
