As they are not common in the UK (someone rode a tuk-tuk back from
India so there is at least one there) they don't have a common term.
<br>
<br>
I have had a local English speaker use the term "" in Yogyakarta,
but that could have been for my benefit. <br>
<br>
If the local 'taxi' is a horse and carriage .. then so be it. <br>
<br>
Possibly the kind of taxi needs to be indicated? As noted on the
wiki for taxi people are already trying to tag this. <br>
<br>
taxi_vehicle=car/motorbike/tuk_tuk/* may be a way forward?? This
keeps the local use with the differences. <br>
