[OSM-talk] Automated Edit - Bus stops status link & Bus lines timetable link (Tenerife)

[Sören Reinecke]

Data customers need to do it anyway because the resources behind these urls are in a machine readable format specified to the public transportation agency. So for each country/agency developers need to write a specified parser. There is a internationalized machine readable format for digital pt timetables but I doubt GTFS is behind these urls.
