[Tagging] on-call bicycle ferry service

[Volker Schmidt]

I had looked into this possibility, but it would be a novelty:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=water_bus shows not a single use.
And:
The routes of the biggest "Waterbus" network of the Netherlands in

Example: way http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/159752173

 bicycle <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:bicycle?uselang=en-GB> =
yes  foot <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:foot?uselang=en-GB>
