Smart cities is a current subject of interest for public administrators and researchers. Getting the cities smarter is one of the challenges for the near future, due to the growing demand for public services. In particular, public transportation is one of most visible aspects of a living city and, therefore, its implementation must be very efficient. The public transportation system of the City of Rio de Janeiro is historically deficient, mostly because it is based on an old bus system. To change it, the City Hall took some actions, such as the development of an open data project that shows, at about every minute, the GPS instant position of all buses in the city. Although it is not a new technology, it is the first initiative to be developed in Rio. This work presents simple tools for the visual exploration of this big dataset based on the historical information from this service, which reaches a total of more than one billion samples. With these tools one is able to discover trends, identify patterns, and locate abnormalities within the massive collection of the buses GPS data.
