Police confirmed the collision happened at 11.30am on Manners Street - between Willis Street and Victoria Street.
The bus was travelling towards Kingston.
Security guard Sean Otta works on Manners Street and was on the road a couple of minutes after the incident.
"I came outside, and I'd seen the pedestrian lying [in] the gutter, [near] the kebab shop and the barber," he said.
"They were facing towards the gutter, and the bus was back a bit further. When I first came out there was just an ambulance, then police officers started showing up.
"Usually around 11.30am the road just gets busier and busier with pedestrians - it was pretty full on."
