like imagine a large automotive garage that services all the school buses (and probably the county fleet vehicles) for a small city and a number of adjacent counties. huge diesel engines with tens of thousands of operational hours and decades of service life. lots of specialized equipment and knowledge for such large equipment, administrative juggling routine maintenance schedules and accidents/emergency repairs, and oversized wreckers for picking up breakdowns, etc.

the “stories” would be diagnosing strange problems or ones that point to structural issues and commentary: underpaid operators, understaffed workforces, field trips, for profit outsourcing & privatization schemes/scams, technological upgrades/uncertainty (electrification), school consolidation/closure making transit/operational times increase, etc.
