Abstract: The last decades saw an increased interest in the social aspects of urban mobility, particularly in understanding the linkage between social network (SN) ties and travel behavior. Most studies analyzed ego-centric networks, focused on dyadic relations and distinguished between weak and strong ties. The purpose of this study is to understand the hidden layers connecting social network group ties and its associated travels within a meeting context. Data included 315 relations based on 137 group meetings that took place in the city of Tel Aviv, Israel at either a cafe, pub or a restaurant and involved three or more participants.
