[Tagging] Motorcycle taxis, pedicabs

[Dolly Andriatsiferana]

Hello everyone,

In Madagascar we have all of these :

- motorcyle taxis (ojek/boda boda...)
- bicycle taxis
- auto rickshaws (tuk tuk/bajaj)
- cycle rickshaws
- human pulled rickshaws (pousse pousse)

Tried to search the wiki, this mailing lists
, taginfo... but havent found proper tags.

Has the OSM data model evolved since and are there proper ways to tag
these? Do these fall under amenity=taxi?
