• Abstract: The NetMob Data Challenge releases a comprehensive public transportation dataset from Niterói, addressing the lack of high-quality mobility and passenger demand data. Based on operational records from March 2026, the dataset combines four main sources: GPS telemetry from buses, approximately 7.2 million ticketing transactions, auxiliary transit data (routes, stops, and weather), and urban infrastructure and socio-demographic information. Together, these sources provide a detailed view of both transit supply and passenger demand. The data were preprocessed, cleaned, and anonymized to preserve privacy and improve reliability, including the removal of operational inconsistencies and anonymization of passenger identifiers. Access is restricted to challenge participants who accept the Terms and Conditions and sign an NDA. The paper describes the data collection and preprocessing pipeline, dataset organization, and mobility patterns observed in the system. The dataset supports research on topics such as public transportation efficiency, demand forecasting, accessibility analysis, service reliability, and the influence of external factors like weather on urban mobility.

  This paper characterizes the impact of Differential Privacy on bias and unfairness in the context of releasing information about networks. We consider a network release problem where the network structure is known to all, but the weights on edges must be released privately. Our work provides theoretical foundations and empirical evidence into the bias and unfairness arising due to privacy in these networked decision problems.
