Hi Dolly,

in India, all of the mentioned "taxi & bus" variants and some few more
exist (e.g. big auto rickshaws that are used collevtively) and I think
it really makes sense to be able to distinguish them because of very
different characteristics (price, speed, risk, space for luggage, etc).

Common waiting & boarding places that I still have in memory carry no
mapping at all, e.g. in Hyderabad
https://www.openstreetmap.org/query?lat=17.40175&lon=78.56058#map=19/17.40145/78.56064
or Bengaluru
https://www.openstreetmap.org/query?lat=12.84703&lon=77.67096 so I
cannot see & tell you how to tag.

In case noone has a better answer: Maybe you find a way to contact
Indian mappers? 🙂

Best regards,
Georg
