[Tagging] Tag:amenity=motorcycle_taxi not approved

[Phake Nick]

I am more thinking about analysis of geographical data of cities or
districts where taxi and motorcycle taxi would be two very different things
to be managed.
Even if you view it from the viewpoint of people trying to get a ride, I
would not expect cross-display of the two types of mobility items in the
same format as that would lose the meaning of having the two types of
mobility options.
