Tornado bus service stops at the Pilot Travel Center located at 4910 Market Street, slightly north of downtown Champaign. The gas station is open 24 hours a day. It is a stop-over plaza for trucks and buses to refuel, so there is not a separate bus station building. You can, however, wait for the bus inside the gas station or head to the onsite McDonald’s to grab a bite. The place remains busy throughout the day, but overall the facilities are clean and comfortable for travelers.
