Voting is now open for the tag amenity=motorcycle_taxi: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:amenity%3Dmotorcycle_taxi
"Use amenity=motorcycle_taxi for the location of a motorcycle taxi stand, a place where motorcycle taxi drivers wait for passengers." In many countries in Southeast Asia, Africa and elsewhere, motorcycles are much more common than automobile taxi cabs. In these places, motorcycle drivers wait at stands, often with a small shelter, and they can be hired to take one or more passengers to various destinations. A fare is paid for a one-way trip, usually after negotiation. The passenger usually rides behind the driver on the same seat. I have already used this tag in Indonesia a couple of dozen times, and I've also discussed it with a few mappers in the Phillipines, where several different tagging systems have been used. This tag will be easy to use and unambiguous. Since motorcycle taxi stands are always at a somewhat different location than motorcar taxicab stands and other hired vehicles, they should each get a different node and tag. The alternative of adding a subtag + amenity=taxi would be misleading to current database users, who will expect a taxicab (motorcar) stand with that tag -- Joseph Eisenberg _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
