In the interest of internationalisation, shouldn't this be a derivative of
whatever is used to denote a taxi-stand? Something like:

amenity=taxistand
transport=autorickshaw

While autorickshaws are an Indian pecularity, other countries have very
similar transport options by name of tuk-tuks, jeepneys, tricycles, pilots,
etc.
