That they exists doesn't mean they make a different. Taxi with low pollution and taxi with electric power are same type of taxi as regular taxi while motorcycle are not the same type of service as regular taxi. That is like saying we shouldn't have a separate tag for bus versus cars because there are many different types of cars, including electric car and fuel efficient cars.:
The reaso why you get the feeling of people saying "you don't understand" to you is because you couldn't tell others why your concern is legitimate, thus making it read like nonsense, even if they might make sense to you, thought I am still not sure about how the distinction of electric power or not is going to on the same level as different types of services. 在 2020年5月9日週六 01:19，Marc M. <marc_marc_...@hotmail.com> 寫道： > apart from the joke with the foot_taxi, I used all the others, what to > reply to someone who tells me it's not common and therefore gives the > impression that only this usecase is important and therefore requires a > top-level tag just for that ? > > that's why it gives the impression that you're saying "you didn't > understand", without your answer explaining my argument : I'm talking > about "the same *service*" and you reply with the number of *wheels* > > Le 08.05.20 à 18:17, Joseph Eisenberg a écrit : > > For the record, I responded to Marc Marc’s comment on this list, > > and there was not a response back: > > > > “ On 2/20/20, marc marc wrote: > >> Le 20.02.20 à 12:45, Joseph Eisenberg a écrit : > >>> Can't we have an easy to use top-level feature tag, instead of having > >>> to add 3 tags like amenity=taxi + motorcar=no + motorcycle=yes to > >>> define one very common, unique feature? > >> > >> did we need to have a top-level feature for every "unique" combination > >> of the same service ? > >> if yes, we need a lot of them > >> amenity=foot_taxi > >> amenity=moto_taxi > >> amenity=sidecar_taxi > >> amenity=taxi_low_local_pollution > >> amenity=taxi_powered_by_renewable_energy etc. > >> but all of these are part of the same type of service, > >> regardless of the number of wheels and the driving force. > > > > 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, enclosed (could be amenity=taxi or perhaps > > amenity=autorickshaw - but these are not common where I live, though I > > know they are common in Thailand, India and some other countries). > > > > There used to be human-pulled rickshaws, but these no longer exist. > > They were take over by pedicabs / aka bicycle rickshaws, since those > > are much more efficient. > > > > I will consider proposing the other 2 tags later, but motorcyle taxis > > are by far the most common.
