these urls are following a fixed scheme like you mentioned
then I see no need to add the urls. There is no need to

<p>I also don't quite understand the reasoning against such a
generic web link. The only way to obtain that link would be
through the QR code at the bus stop, which is an obstacle. Not
even the website actually has this information on a separate page,
but only through a popup clicking onto the station. And I think it
would greatly improve the usefulness of the bus stop nodes in the
map. Same is true for the bus line links.</p>
<p>Why search through the Titsa website to gain this information
when it can readily be associated with the node. If I click onto a
restaurant or hotel and get their website, that's not different,
is it? I wouldn't go though Google to find such information.<br>

<p>@Mateusz: Any help regarding the script would be greatly
appreciated. I have worked with databases before (PostgreSQL,
MySQL, SAS) and am aware of the pitfalls.</p>
