Agreed. That transit center hasn't been active since 2013, when bus route 39 was discontinued. 39 was the only route that originated and terminated at the bus bays there. The other nearby bus routes, 0 (Central) and 50 (Camelback) stop on the street a short walk from the light rail station, but not within the transit center per se. With the city's Proposition 104 plan focusing on improving bus service along the grid and not on meandering, interlining routes like 39, there just isn't a scenario in which that facility would be brought back to life.
Also, I don't see any way that narrow sliver of land could fit an apartment building. The only scenario that makes sense to me is for the same developer to develop both the city-owned and privately-owned land as one project.
