[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Rideshare Access

[Joseph Eisenberg]

Clare,

The "proposal" section currently fails to include the actual proposal: that
is, what new key and tags are you proposing to use?

It looks like the proposal is: "approve the use of the new key "rideshare="
with values "yes" and "no" to specify legal access for rideshare vehicles."

But you will also need to add a definition of a "rideshare vehicle", since
this will need to be translated for places where Lyft and Uber do not
operate, and where English is not used (e.g. Indonesia). Unfortunately I
don't see a good online source for a definition.

Is a Gojek motorcycle a rideshare vehicle? See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gojek
What about pedicabs (tricycles) which are hailed with a smartphone app?
Or should only passenger cars be included?
What about taxis which also get fares via an app?
