DISCLAIMER: MH-Paikalliset relies on external data (matkahuolto.info) for routes, schedules, locations and coordinates, hence I take no responsibility if some of the information presented in MH-Paikalliset is incorrect. However, if you think MH-Paikalliset somehow _misinterprets_ this data, I'd greatly appreciate a hint!
