    I'm going to give it to the bus driver tommorow, and say I found it on the bus yesterday, but I forgot to give it to you.

Oof. You almost got it right.

Try this: "I found this phone on the bus yesterday. Can you get it back to its owner please?"

All true, and the right thing to do. No need to lie on top of everything else, man.
