taxi=* is already used as an access tag, so I think taxi:type=* should be considered instead. Perhaps amenity=taxi can default to motorcar if there is no taxi:type=* tag. In theory we could even have taxi:type=tuktuk or similar if it's that important to differentiate it from other types of motorized transport. > 3) Propose amenity=ojek and just hold the vote in the Indonesian > community, like how the Japanese mapper community proposes > locally-relevant definitions? This might work but I'd rather not see a bunch of region-specific tags that all mean the same thing. It's as if we had shop=vacuum in the US and then shop=hoover in the UK (though that would run afoul of trademark infringement, but you get where I'm coming from). > 4) Give up on mapping things which are not found in western Europe, and > recognize that this is in practice a project dominated by > English/German/American culture, which will not accept new ideas which > were not invented in the West? Most ideas of this sort are implemented worldwide, just in different ways. -- Shawn K.
