Just to clarify, these public transport services are either exclusively
using motorcycles or exclusively using bicycles in a particular locale. As
a commuting passenger, you generally have no choice whether you want the
bicycles instead of motorcycles or vice versa. So the difference (human vs.
engine) is a pedantic difference instead of a practical difference. That
said, it is perfectly fine to use different secondary tags or subtags to
differentiate between the two, just not have different top-level tags.
