Could we change the wiki then? Because that's now how I interpret the indented list on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access, where taxi is under psv, and while bus has a disclaimer "acting as a public service vehicle", taxi has no such disclaimer. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:psv is also IMO unclear whether or not it includes taxi - up top it says "vehicles used in a passenger service (no matter how many seating positions they might have)" and taxi below - with no mention of local laws. Only in the "See also" section it includes taxi again saying "taxi, which may or may not be considered public service vehicles depending on location" I ask because in my local jurisdiction, unlike in the UK, public transit bus exceptions do not usually apply to taxis, and based on my understanding of the wiki pages I've been changing psv to bus in those cases when I see it. Which is correct? --Jarek _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
