Significado
To disembark from a bus.
Contexto cultural
In Spain, buses are usually very punctual. You enter through the front door and 'bajar' through the middle or rear doors. In many countries, you might need to shout '¡Bajan!' or '¡En la esquina, por favor!' because not all buses have working stop buttons. The word 'autobús' is replaced by 'guagua'. So you would say 'bajar de la guagua'.
The 'De' Rule
Always use 'de' after 'bajar' when you are getting off a vehicle. Bajar de la bici, bajar del tren, bajar del bus.
Don't forget the accent
Autobús always has an accent on the 'ú'. Without it, the pronunciation changes.
