In short, is this tag "tagging for the tourist"? Those in the know
will know to check if it's a motorcycle taxi or a car taxi stand.

Or is it "tagging for Maps.me", which might not be adapted to
differently render amenity=taxi + taxi=motorcycle_taxi on short
notice? Luckily they do change rendering for some subtags:
amenity=parking + access=private; or railway=station + wheelchair=*.

(And what about water taxis at Malé airport?)
