A taxi stand usually is with cabs / regular cars, but in some countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia, it is common to have other vehicles, such as motorcycle taxis, rickshaws etc. In order to differentiate those, and specially after amenity=motorcycle_taxi proposal was rejected, the de facto solution used by mappers is to use amenity=taxi and explicitly mark the taxi vehicle type with the tag taxi_vehicle=*.

Used values:

Boat Taxis

There are isolated cases around the world where boat taxis exist, like in Venice. These are on demand vehicles that are often based on a pier and can be hired from there like a normal taxi. Not to be confused with some other self-called "Taxi Boats" where there are several different passenger hopping on and cruising trough a fixed route, where ferry tagging more suitable is.


In these cases it has been proposed in chat forums to use:

taxi_vehicle=motorboat
