[Tagging] Tag:amenity=motorcycle_taxi not approved

[Marc M.]

apart from the joke with the foot_taxi, I used all the others, what to
reply to someone who tells me it's not common and therefore gives the
impression that only this usecase is important and therefore requires a
top-level tag just for that ?

that's why it gives the impression that you're saying "you didn't
understand", without your answer explaining my argument : I'm talking
about "the same *service*" and you reply with the number of *wheels*
