FWIW, I can't reproduce this problem. Here is how I tested:

I cut-n-pasted the second form of the link

  [[http://www2.stm.info/taz/horaire.php?l%3D29&d%3DE&t%3D52103][Autobus 29 
est]]

into an org file, and changed my browser function (I usually use firefox):

  (setq browse-url-browser-function (function browse-url-chromium))

Following the link then gives me a timetable for "Ligne: 29 Rachel" and the
URL shown in the URL entry thingie in chromium is the complete one:

  http://www2.stm.info/taz/horaire.php?l=29&d=E&t=52103

not the partial one that you get.

I also tried it with my usual firefox browser and also got the same result.
