It seems you are the only person discussing here who has actual on the
ground knowledge with this kind of service. They do not exist here (there
are horse drawn carriages here, but they are kind of a tourist attraction
and not considered taxis or generally, public transport, and while in
Berlin bicycle based rickshaws are not uncommon, they are also not seen as
public transport, nor as taxis (I guess), but rather as some kind of
tourist attraction more similar to the horse drawn carriages).

FWIW, if you believe they should get their own main tag, because tagging
them as (subtype of) taxis would be a misrepresentation and not lead to
useful user experience, I would be fine with a new main tag, provided there
is no significant opposition from other mappers who are familiar with them.

Cheers
Martin
