TORRANCE, Calif. — SCHOOL BUS FLEET has broken new ground in pupil transportation, launching the first industry-wide blog. Editor Steve Hirano will post his thoughts about the industry at Along for the Ride. "Blogging is new for me," Hirano says. "But I'm excited about the opportunity to interact more closely with the school bus community." Hirano says he'll try to apply a personal touch to his musings on pupil transportation and invites comments from readers. "I'll try to keep it lively, as well as informative," he says. "If you don't agree with what I say, feel free to let me know." To visit the blog, click on Along for the Ride
