Is there perhaps some website with that information (an actual departure 
board, not a vague "link to timetables")?  If so, wouldn't the "website" 
tag work for that, like at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2083241360 ?

Incidentally, there's a whole mailing list designed for "how to tag X" 
questions over at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging .  
It's probably a better fit for what you're taking about than here, which 
is more to do with software development and tile hosting stuff.

Best Regards,

Andy
