This new tag is meant for motorcycles (2 wheeled vehicles), not 3-wheel tuk-tuks and similar vehicles, which are enclosed and provide a separate seating are for passengers. They are more similar to 4-wheel motorcar taxis than to motorcycles.
Yes, some places (like the Phillipines) have suggested using amenity=taxi for motorcycles, 3-wheeled bicycles, 3-wheeled motor vehicles etc, so that they will be rendered, but I believe this is misusing the term "taxi", which is widely understood to refer to a motorcar taxi in most countries and languages. That would be similar to using highway=bus_stop for taxis by arguing that they are both publically available forms of passenger transportation, even though a bus runs on a fixed schedule and route and carries many different people, while a taxi is hired privately and goes directly to your destination. - Joseph Eisenberg On 2/20/20, Martin Koppenhoefer <[email protected]> wrote: > Am Do., 20.
