M: late at night, one of those owl-type things, and arrived in Gainesville, well

 before lunch the next day or something of that sort. Of course by 10:00 oh1

 about 10:00 the next day.

 J: Now when you came up and you got off the bus, did you take a taxi from there

 to the university?

 M: Yeah. The cabs were all over the place, Star cabs uh and a lot of them and

 they..... they were ten cent area cabs, anywhere in town for a dime which

 was a lot of fun....... because although a dime was a lot of money to us, I

 was trying to see here..... I think.... I did have..... in my wallet. May

 have put it right back in a safe place but uh..... not too long ago...... I

 was looking through my stuff I kept. I had a uh.... card. Drivers give

 you a card, y know call me if you need a cab. And I had a card left over

 from my student days. The only reason I kept the thing is that the back of
 o.J
 the card had theuh..... listing of the...... license tags,yA know one Dade

 County, two......

J: Mm hmm.

M: Uh so... Duval County. And I had that card and I ran across it the other day.

 I was trying to remember what I did with. Probably put it away where I wouldn't

 lose it and now I can't find it. But uhit's interesting to look at

 because there's an old Star cab on it, had the man's name, and the telephone

 number which as I recall, was only a two or three digit number.

 J: Mmm hmm.

 M: And uh.... ten cent cabs so y' know he was there at the bus station. Yeah.

 He met all the busses,so why not? All these students were coming in at this

 time and it was old experience to the cab driver and as many of em
