Is it right to use busway or should we use another tag ? (like psv ?)
psv includes taxis; use access=no bus=yes unless taxis are allowed.
The definition of psv will vary by territory. The "legal" term PSV in the UK does not include taxis and I suspect this may be the case in many places. Either document the definition of PSV per country, or avoid it by using the "underlying" tags bus=* and taxi=* instead. And while we are at it, let's distinguish between buses on local/scheduled services, and other vehicles carrying lots of passengers, such as luxury coaches (for holidays/excursions etc) as these are frequently treated as distinct classes of vehicles for access restrictions.

This discussion illustrates some of the variability of the definition of "buses only", and this is only talking about one city!
