apart from the joke with the foot_taxi, I used all the others, what to reply to someone who tells me it's not common and therefore gives the impression that only this usecase is important and therefore requires a top-level tag just for that ?
that's why it gives the impression that you're saying "you didn't understand", without your answer explaining my argument : I'm talking about "the same *service*" and you reply with the number of *wheels* Le 08.05.20 à 18:17, Joseph Eisenberg a écrit : > For the record, I responded to Marc Marc’s comment on this list, > and there was not a response back: > > “ On 2/20/20, marc marc wrote: >> Le 20.02.20 à 12:45, Joseph Eisenberg a écrit : >>> Can't we have an easy to use top-level feature tag, instead of having >>> to add 3 tags like amenity=taxi + motorcar=no + motorcycle=yes to >>> define one very common, unique feature? >> >> did we need to have a top-level feature for every "unique" combination >> of the same service ? >> if yes, we need a lot of them >> amenity=foot_taxi >> amenity=moto_taxi >> amenity=sidecar_taxi >> amenity=taxi_low_local_pollution >> amenity=taxi_powered_by_renewable_energy etc. >> but all of these are part of the same type of service, >> regardless of the number of wheels and the driving force. > > Not all of these actually are in real-world use. > > The only 4 options in common use today are: > > 1) motorcar, 4 wheels, enclosed (amenity=taxi) > 2) motorcycle, 2 wheels, open (amenity=motorcycle_taxi) > 3) pedicabs / 3-wheel tricycles (amenity=pedicab?) - non-motorized > 4) autorickshaws, 3 wheels, enclosed (could be amenity=taxi or perhaps > amenity=autorickshaw - but these are not common where I live, though I > know they are common in Thailand, India and some other countries). > > There used to be human-pulled rickshaws, but these no longer exist. > They were take over by pedicabs / aka bicycle rickshaws, since those > are much more efficient. > > I will consider proposing the other 2 tags later, but motorcyle taxis > are by far the most common.
