BUSES TO GET SPECIAL ATTENTION OF POLICE

Spurred by sniper attacks on Greyhound buses across the nation, Florida has joined Ohio in agreeing to keep watch on the vehicles during the drivers' strike.

Dallas-based Greyhound Lines Inc. on Wednesday said it would equip its Florida buses with citizens band radios to allow drivers to call for help.

In a letter to Greyhound, Florida Gov. Bob Martinez said he has asked state troopers to "pay special attention to Greyhound buses as they travel through our state."

Greyhound also agreed to put CB radios in its Ohio buses and provide route lists to the Highway Patrol. Gov. Richard Celeste had recommended both actions.
