I would like to formally request comments on the proposal for amenity=motorcycle_taxi:
"A place where motorcycle taxis wait for passengers" https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tag:amenity%3Dmotorcycle_taxi In many countries, motorcycles for hire are much more common than automobile taxis. 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. The passenger usually rides behind the driver. In some countries two or even three passengers can be carried on one motorcycle "taxi". Motorcycle taxis are also known as "motos" or "bike taxi", or by other local names, such as "ojek" here in Indonesia and in Singapore, "boda-boda" in Uganda, and "okada" in Nigeria. While some have proposed using amenity=taxi plus additional tags for motorcycle taxi stands, this is quite confusing for travelers who generally expect a "taxi" to be 4-wheeled motorcar capable of carrying 4 people and luggage. So a different tag is proposed to avoid confusion and more precisely tag these features. - Joseph Eisenberg _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
