Air bags for air brakes as well, right?

Yes, pretty much all buses have them. Bus 4 does, and bus 9 does (it's a long plumbing route, though... it takes the wipers a few scrapes over a dry windshield before the fluid comes out). The fluid comes out of jets mounted on the wiper arms, and you can see little hoses coming up the wiper arms.

My bus definitely has them.. When the love bugs come, they are on all the time.. My driver last year was so annoying, she would turn them on at least once every 5 minutes

Well, bus 4 (and all of our air-braked buses) have things that look like the air bags used in air suspension, but they're smaller, angled diagonally, and rounder. *Suddenly feels embarassed* Wait, would these things be the air tanks? :-[ Air suspension is more like a perfect cylinder, and the bags are vertical.

Air ride is usually a round rubber thing. A lot of them say "Good Year" (as in tire) on them. When I'm at the garage, I'll climb under a CE-200 and get a picture for you.

Yeah, what your talking about are not air bags, they are probably the brake chambers.

There should be pictures of the air bags on bus 11 in my bus picture topic.

Thanks, guys, I'm pretty sure I know the difference now. ;D I know what air bags for suspension look like, but I wasn't sure what the air brake things were called. Thanks! :)

Well, I have just never ever seen them used. I assumed that there had to be...I wasn't sure how it would cover the windshield tthough...being on the wiper itself makes sense!
