Not bad, good image.

I think on most buses, of the two rear wheels, the front is a single while the back one is dual.

Yes, the rear wheels would be dual and the front ones would be single.

It was reported that they were able to make it a short distance to a shop to get a new tire. I'm guessing that it was a rear tire base on that information.

Yep. The Greyhound "scenicruiser" style buss hss dualies on the rearmost axle. The mid-axle has single wheels and can be raised off the road surface for less than full loads -- bus will bounce and sway due to over-suspension.
