Following a discussion on osm-carto [1], I am looking for a suitable
tagging of taxi services that are not passenger cars.
Examples are motorcycle taxis and rickshaws.
While the original approval for amenity=taxi (32k) [2] does not
specify the vehicle type, some additions were introduced in 2013 [3],
apparently from the Philippines community [4], to add the following tags:
+ motorcar=yes|no (usage 289, mostly Philippines)
+ motorcycle=yes|no (usage 290, mostly Philippines)
The problem I see here that this method hijacks access-tags, while the
intention is to specify the type of the taxi. The next best candidates
for the type are also already occupied with access tagging:
taxi=yes|no (18k)
vehicle=* (203k)
Thus I propose to discourage the use of those access tags, and to use
a new subtag for the type of the taxi with an unambiguous key, e.g.:
taxi_type = car|motorcycle|rickshaw, etc,
What does 'type' add to the above? For me;
taxi=car/motorcycle/rickshaw/maxicab/coco/bicitaxi/*
does the same.
Note maxicabs allow more people, or larger objects to be carried, as
well as possibly wheelchairs with a disabled person.
