I don't know about other places, but at least in Italy it's common
that public transport vehicles (which include buses, trams, taxis)
share a single permission to access areas where general traffic is not
allowed. So, access=no, psv=yes makes more sense than access=no,
bus=yes, taxi=yes (sure, the consumer has to know which vehicles are
PSVs). On the other hand, it's perfectly fine to use them separately,
for example for a lane reserved to taxis only (where psv=yes would be
incorrect).

Ciao,
