Good idea. Complex though.

Living in England - some bus routes will allow bicycles. Some companies have local bans. Train services usually need reservation on Express services and many local services. Some routes are run with different companies each with different rules. Many have a quantity limitation - e.g. 2 bicycles with reservation.

Folding bicycles are usually treated as luggage - allowed if there is space. On trains and sometimes buses.

Possible tag - bicycle:carriage= (your list below).

This tagging idea may also work for wheel chairs - wheel-chair:carriage= (your list below)

also mobility-scooter:carriage . . .. . In UK each train company has a policy on mobility scooters with most saying no or only as luggage. They are working on better policies.

Different bus/train/ferry/other public transit services could sach have different policies on whether bicycles can be allowed onboard or not. How should they be tagged?
Off hand I have think of several types of permission:
- Allowed
- Prior notification needed
- Only during some time period (not allowed during peak hour or holiday only)
- Specific service frequency only
- Only for frequencies using particular behicle
- Folded bike only
- Only if wheels are removed and packed into cycling bag
- Disallowed
Should they be tagged on individual route related or network relation?
