On May 7, at about 4.40pm, the 21-year-old woman boarded the route 418 bus in Kingston heading towards Epsom.
She sat in the row of seats behind the exit doors beside a window.
A short time later a man boarded the bus and asked to sit next to the woman and she indicated that this would be OK.
The man then allegedly put his hand on the passenger, and started to "touch her inappropriately on her leg", according to a Met Police spokesman.
The woman stood up and moved, telling him to stop touching her.
