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 (scooters).
Creating a new key for each combination would be awful.

So I prefer to split the amenity "you can pay someone there to have a ride"
and what kind of vehicles you can find there.
That could looks like this:
amenity=taxi
taxi:motorcycle=yes
taxi:car=yes
taxi:tricycle=yes
...

(or other more British words ;)
