<p>Hi.</p>
<p>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.)<br>
</p>
<p>The psv wiki page suggests tagging individual types if necessary,
but implies that a taxi is a PSV.</p>

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

For a "bus only" way such as a bus bay, I see common tagging
[access=no] + [psv=yes] used.<br class="">

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?<br class="">

<div class="">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 <i class="">de
jure</i> taxis" but are rather "<i class="">de facto</i>
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)).<br class="">
