Täytyykö (matkalla) vaihtaa bussia?
I think this is a question to find out whether, in order to get to a certain place, one needs to change buses.
It is NOT a straightforward question addressed to the other person ('you').
As we don't have this kind of a pronoun to refer to any person/people in general, I would translate this in the sense of
'Do I have to change buses' (if the asker him/herself is going to travel) = 'Täytyykö minun vaihtaa bussia?'
OR in general in the sense of 'Does the journey require a bus change' = 'Täytyykö matkalla vaihta bussia?'

Sorry the second Finnish sentence has got a typo. It should be:
\'Täytyykö matkalla vaihtaa bussia?\'
