Hi all,
Unfortunately bus lane restrictions are not the same in each state and
territory.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines/Transportation.
As there isn't a consistent delineation about what counts as a public
service vehicle in each state and territory, it'd probably be better to
err on the side of specific access tagging rather than relying on a
state/territory default. For David's case, I think a tag of taxi=yes
would be prudent.

Hi.
I'm not sure if this helps, but a "bus lane" allows buses, taxis,
bicycles and hire cars. A "bus only lane" allows only buses (not taxis
and hire cars). (Neither allow rental cars.)
The psv wiki page suggests tagging individual types if necessary, but
implies that a taxi is a PSV.

I think you should probably put taxi=no for a "bus only lane" but not
for a "bus lane".
IANAL but I'd guess that ride share services are not taxis in this
context.

In regards to PSV (Public Service Vehicles), I understand this
encompasses buses/coaches.
For a "bus only" way such as a bus bay, I see common tagging
[access=no] + [psv=yes] used.
Does anyone know if a Taxi is considered a "public service vehicle" and
therefore able use the busy bay way? Or does [access=no] inherently
prevent this and it would need a separate [taxi=yes] tag?
It might be controversial to say so, but "taxis" meant (until maybe a
decade ago, with the uprising of the Uber's of the world, which are, in
many places, "not _de jure_ taxis" but are rather "_de facto_ taxis") a
legally-regulated car-for-hire (not "rental, YOU drive," rather "hail
one" (or solicit a ride for a fare at a taxi stand)).
