The year-long Montgomery Bus Boycott, in Montgomery, Alabama, didn't directly cause the Supreme Court to declare segregation in public transportation unconstitutional, although the boycott gave the court a compelling reason to affirm the US District Court decision in favor of the African-American plaintiffs.
Most of the Warren Court was dedicated to upholding the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause that states: "nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

What us supreme court decision established segregation was unconstitutional?
If your asking what case caused segregation, the case of Plessy v. Ferguson created the "Separate but Equal" doctrine which gave blacks and whites equal facilities, but they were separate. This case created segregation. Just in case you are asking for what case started desegregation, it started with the case of "Brown v. Board of Education" where it was determined that the Separate but Equal doctrine was unconstitutional and demanded that schools must immediately desegregate schools. PS. The case of "Plessy v. Ferguson" was used as a precedent in the case "Brown v. Board of Education". :)
