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.

I have had a local English speaker use the term ""  in Yogyakarta, but 
that could have been for my benefit.

If the local 'taxi' is a horse and carriage .. then so be it.

Possibly the kind of taxi needs to be indicated? As noted on the wiki 
for taxi people are already trying to tag this.

taxi_vehicle=car/motorbike/tuk_tuk/* may be a way forward?? This keeps 
the local use with the differences.
