The bus station is built on an area where once Picket Lake was located. The lake which was once connected to Hussain Sagar lake gradually got encroached. By 2008 various encroachments were demolished to develop the bus station. {{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/picket-lake-consigned-to-history-now-jubilee-bus-station-stands-in-its-place/articleshow/72045220.cms|title=Picket lake consigned to history: Now, Jubilee bus station stands in its place|publisher=The Times of India|first=Syed|last=Akbar|date=2019-11-14|access-date=2024-10-14}} {{cite news|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/2018/Aug/23/10-years-on-families-that-lost-houses-to-hyderabads-jubilee-bus-station-struggle-1861520.html|title=10 years on, families that lost houses to Hyderabad's Jubilee Bus station struggle|publisher=The New Indian Express|first=Mahesh|last=U|date=2018-08-23|access-date=2024-10-14}}
