The Megabus stop in Davenport

Davenport Ground Transportation Center. This is the primary Megabus boarding location in Davenport. Citibus runs local buses across Davenport, Bettendorf and the riverfront.

Plan to arrive at the curbside boarding location 15 to 20 minutes before scheduled departure. Megabus boards in line order at most stops; first in line gets first pick of unassigned seats. Reserved-seating tickets allow you to board at any time during the boarding window but do not change the queue rules at the curb.

The hub is particularly useful as a transfer point — many travelers booking longer trips combine two Megabus segments through Davenport rather than waiting for a direct overnight bus. Most onward connections at the Davenport Ground Transportation Center have at least 30 minutes between scheduled arrival and the next outbound departure, which is enough time to switch coaches but not enough to leave the boarding area.

For travelers connecting through Davenport on multi-leg trips, several multi-modal trip-planning tools can flag tighter connections and suggest alternative carriers if a Megabus segment runs late.
