[Tagging] Tag:amenity=motorcycle_taxi not approved

[Volker Schmidt]

In this context:
I have just realised that at Venice Aiport there are  (at least) the
following services and corresponding counters and stop positions.

busses to various destinations. They depart from a bus-stop area, but have
different counters according to the bus company
water busses (separate counter, I believe)
taxi (cabs) (you just go and pick them up)
shuttle minibuses (operated by a taxi company with Internet and phone
booking - I am not aware of a counter in the airport)
water taxies

And I am sure there are more services.

Add to add to the confusion on the water: looking for a tag for water taxi,
I consulted the EN Wikipedia article for "water taxi", and I find the
English term "water taxi" includes what I would call water busses, but in
Venice that is certainly wrong - they are completely different transport
methods: motoscafo are water taxicabs on wayter  and vaporetto are
scheduled buses on water.
Another thing that EN Wikipedia tells me is that taxi=taxicab in English.

Luckily enough there are no gondolas venturing out to the Airport, they are
a kind of human-powered taxis on water (or at least they once had that
function).

Bottom line: more we look into this taxi business more interesting and
confusing it gets.
