After a casual conversation with strangers, is it ok to use またね, even though I
don't literally expect to see them again? バイバイ and さよなら feel too Englishy to
me, and I assume "see you" is still English, not Japanese. However, I am happy
to repeat バイバイ and "see you" if said by the other, usually Japanese, person.

It is odd that you say またね to strangers whom you don't expect to see again.

I think それでは、じゃ、では、失礼します are appropriate in the situation.
