    Bus drivers rolling in from all over

    Muriel Hightower arrived in Vancouver a week ago. First time ever in the city and she likes what she sees. Unfortunately what she is mostly going to see is a very narrow strip of roadway connecting two parking lots, one downtown and one at the University of British Columbia. She's driving a 50-passenger bus, ferrying journlists from the Main Press Center to the site of many of the hockey games. So she'll ger a slightly distorted view of the city but she still loves it.
