Then may I ask you why ?
I pay a driver to take me where I want to with his vehicle.

There is a lack of understanding in both sides here because I don't get why
having two different amenity values is a benefit.

Back in 2009 a wiki contributor explained he's using amenity=taxi +
motorcycle=yes. Despite motorcycle=yes can be awkward as it is used as an
access tag, the idea to complete taxi service with explicit vehicle
definition is useful.

As I assume motorcycle taxi service is the same as taxicab service (change
my mind upside), I find convenient to only define extra vehicule types
instead of the whole service we already have in amenity=taxi.

All the best
