Are there any more comments about the proposal for amenity=motorcycle_taxi?
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:amenity%3Dmotorcycle_taxi
As expected, there were a few critical remarks about the use of
"amenity=" - however, this is the key used for "amenity=taxi", a
motorcar
My point is : don't merge features in the same tag !
That makes thing more difficult to tag and more difficult to consume.
Indonesia is big but world is bigger, and I'm pretty sure we can find
examples where different kind of vehicles shares the same taxi spot.

Unlike parking spaces, a motorcycle taxi stand is never shared between
motorcycles and cabs or tricycles here in Indonesia, since each type
of vehicle has d
Hi,
I'm always suspicious about tags with underscore in it, because they often
mix different features together.
My examples are parking, bicycle_parking, motorcycle_parking. In Paris
there are parking shared between bicycle and motorcycle, and parking shared
between bicycle and dock less vehicles

Oh, here in Indonesia you can find motorcycle taxis (ojek) everywhere,
including in all the towns where bicycle rickshaws / pedicabs operate.
For example, all of the markets in my town have a pangkalan ojek
(motorcycle taxi stand) and a separate pangkalan becak (pedicab
stand), usually near the ma

Yes, Indonesia has many of these too: we call them "becak," passengers
sit up front on a bench, unlike in India bicycle rickshaws.
There are even "bemo" which are motorized tricycles, where the bicycle
part (in the back) has been

IMHO, if we distinguish automobile taxis from motorcycle taxis, we should
also distinguish both from human powered vehicles. Th
As a person from the Philippines who uses these "motorcycle taxis" (we call
them tricycles here and they are basically motorcycles with an attached
sidecar for passengers), I am in favor of having a new top-level tag for
these "taxi" stations. The reason why we used "taxi" here is that this was

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, enclos

Do we have any idea how many amenity=taxi already in OSM are in fact
toctocs or similar?
I suspect that this number is huge, and introducing a new tag for them will
only create confusion, as we have no way of migrating the toktoks tagged as
taxies to the new key.
