How to pronounce the word "buh"? I couldn't find the phonetic symbol in any dictionary.
Does the word "buh-bye" equal to "bye"?

According to Urban Dictionary:
"an informal expression used to say goodbye"
So, the pronunciation of "buh-bye" sound like "bub-eye".
Hope this helps.

'buh bye' is the same as 'bye bye'. It is only used in speaking to someone with whom you are familiar.

The "buh" is a neutral vowel sound, like "u" in "up". It's also a weak sound. You could write the expression as "b'bye" and the pronunciation will be the same.

I think "buh-bye" is meant to be a phonetic transcription of how some people say "bye-bye".

Sorry, I didn't answer your question. It is pronounced 'bu-bye' ; the vowel 'u' is open, as usually pronounced in the south of England.
