use of s about something belonging to something

HI, If for example I want to say:

“I stuck an adhesive on the windows of the bus”. Should I say buses’ windows or bus windows?

thanks, bye

I find "the windows of the bus" to be the best of them, but if you want to use bus as an adjective, "on the bus windows" that's fine too. I don't find "buses' windows" to sound very natural. )

(Note that your original sounded like only one bus, but buses' windows sounds like more than one bus.)

590 for "bus's windows"
13,500 for "windows of the bus"
