Social Transit Research Lab

The Social Transit Research Lab (stArlab) is an open source effort to gather ideas about the socially-connected, socially-conscious transportation of the future. We produce Weeels, the free cab-sharing smartphone app for NYC.

Our blog is where we collect discoveries from the world of new transit, social and not, high tech and low.
