    Thank you.
    If you make "returns" singular (remove the "s"), it's correct.

    He takes two buses to go to the university and so does he to return home.

    I don't like the underlined words; they do not sound natural to me. I'd prefer: "and (he does) the same to return home". or: "and as he does to return home"
