collection environment : The city of Rio de Janeiro is one of the metropolises of Brazil, having in 2010 over 6 million residents. The city has about 1,200 sq km of area and over 11,000 km of streets, where 2,576,947 vehicles (17,723 buses) circulated in 2014. According to operational data from the buses controllers, obtained at the website of the federation of transport companies in the Rio de Janeiro state, in October 2014 there were 725 active bus lines, with a fleet of 9,028 vehicles which made 1,832,461 travels that month, covering over 72 million kilometers and carrying over 117 million passengers.

network configuration : None information of how the data is gathered is provided by the data maintainer. Nevertheless, we discovered that each bus have a GPS receiver and the data is sent to a central facility in near real time by a 3G cellular network.

data collection methodology : Real-time position data reported by the buses, updated every minute, plus other transport data, like stops location and bus routes, are made available by the city of Rio de Janeiro through the open data portal of the city (http://data.rio/en/dataset?groups=transporte-e-mobilidade). We collected these data because it represents the actual shuttle of the public transport vehicles, in addition to contribute to analyze and eventually share an expressive location data collection of a large number of vehicles. The collected data is from October, 2014, in a month period.

sanitization : These are the raw data, only compiled all measurements performed per day.
