I'd say a "municipal" taxi, that is, one regulated by municipal and/or state law, often requiring a "medallion" (an "award" by the driver that bonding, knowledge...requirements are met, often in accordance with state law) IS part of what might be allowed in a "bus lane" (though, I agree not a "bus only" lane). However, an Uber/Lyft/whatever, no. Thank you for understanding we are not talking about "cars for hire" what in the USA is called a "rental car." Good to have international dialog about this; some of the issues are a bit subtle. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
