Good day,

Despite these modes of transport being used by billions of people there still isn't really any established or properly documented way to map them in OSM yet.

A proposal to introduce the tag amenity=motorcycle_taxi <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:amenity%3Dmotorcycle_taxi> was rejected quite strongly.

There is a very minor usage of taxi_type=motorcycle/auto_rickshaw/cycle_rickshaw but there hasn't been any formal proposal for this.

Hello everyone,

In Madagascar we have all of these :

- motorcyle taxis (ojek/boda boda...)
- bicycle taxis
- auto rickshaws (tuk tuk/bajaj)
- cycle rickshaws
- human pulled rickshaws (pousse pousse)

Tried to search the wiki, this mailing lists
, taginfo... but havent found proper tags.

Has the OSM data model evolved since and are there proper ways to tag these? Do these fall under amenity=taxi?

    In Yogjakarta (Indonesia) you can hire 5 different rides with
    different names

    1) taxi (motorcar) - called a “taksi”
    2) pedicab (pedaled tricycle) - called a “becak”
    3) motorcycle “taxi” - called a “Ojek” (a private motorcycle is a
    “motor)
    4) auto rickshaw - called a “bemo” or “bajai”
    5) horse-drawn carriage - called a “dokar” or “andong” depending
    on if 2 or 4 wheels. These are becoming rare now, so I haven’t
    mentioned them before.

    A horse-drawn carriage can hold 8 people with luggage, but a
    motorcycle only carried 1 or 2 without luggage, so they are quite
    different features. And the bicycle rickshaw/pedicab won’t go up
    hills and can’t carry too much weight. I believe they deserve
    different tags.

            Is "pedicab" the best British English / International
            English term for
these hired tricycles vehicles?

        That's what I've always known them as.

            There are also "motorcycle rickshaws", called "tuk-tuk"
            in Thailand
            and "bemo" or "bajai" here in Indonesia. They are 3
            wheeled vehicles
            with 1 or 2 covered bench seats in the back, and the
            front is like
            part of a motorcycle.

            These probably need a different tag. Is there a standard
            British
English term for these?

        As they are not common in the UK (someone rode a tuk-tuk back
        from India so there is at least one there) they don't have a
        common term.

        I have had a local English speaker use the term ""  in
        Yogyakarta, but that could have been for my benefit.

        If the local 'taxi' is a horse and carriage .. then so be it.

        Possibly the kind of taxi needs to be indicated? As noted on
        the wiki for taxi people are already trying to tag this.

        taxi_vehicle=car/motorbike/tuk_tuk/* may be a way forward??
        This keeps the local use with the differences.
