Explanation

이 버스 means “this bus.” Put the destination before 가요 to ask whether that bus goes there: 이 버스 명동에 가요?

Korean commonly omits the particle after 버스 in this short question. The destination still takes 에 because it is where the bus is going.

Pointing at the bus or asking the driver makes the reference clear. You can substitute any destination name.

A driver may answer 네, 가요 or 아니요, 안 가요. If it does not go there, ask which bus you should take instead.

Examples

이 버스 시청에 가요?

I beoseu sicheong-e gayo?

Does this bus go to City Hall?

네, 다음 정류장에서 내려요.

Ne, daeum jeongnyujangeseo naeryeoyo.

Yes, get off at the next stop.
