Types of aerialway
aerialway	cable_car		Cablecar or Tramway. Just one or two large cars. The traction cable forms a loop, but the cars do not loop around, they just move up and down on their own side, rolling along static cables over which they are suspended.
aerialway	gondola		Gondola lift. Many cars on a looped cable.
aerialway	chair_lift		Chairlift. Looped cable with a series of single chairs (typically seating two or four people, but can be more). Exposed to the open air (can have a bubble). This implies oneway=yes (drawn upward). Any two-way chairlifts should be tagged oneway=no.
aerialway	mixed_lift		Mixed lift Also known as a hybrid lift is a new type of ski lift that combines the elements of a chairlift and a gondola lift.
aerialway	drag_lift		Drag lift or Surface lift is an overhead tow-line for skiers and riders. A T-bar lift, button lift, or more simple looped rope drag lifts, or loops of wire with handles to grab. See also aerialway=t-bar, aerialway=j-bar, aerialway=platter and aerialway=rope_tow. This automatically implies oneway=yes (drawn upward).
aerialway	t-bar		T-bar lift. A type of aerialway=drag_lift. This automatically implies oneway=yes (drawn upward).
aerialway	j-bar		J-bar lift. A type of aerialway=drag_lift. Like t-bar but just on one side. This automatically implies oneway=yes (drawn upward).
aerialway	platter		Platter lift. A type of aerialway=drag_lift. Similar to a t-bar, but with a disc instead of a bar. Single-person only. This automatically implies oneway=yes (drawn upward).
aerialway	rope_tow		Rope tow. A type of aerialway=drag_lift. This automatically implies oneway=yes (draw upward).
aerialway	magic_carpet		Magic carpet. A type of ski lift. This automatically implies oneway=yes (drawn upward).
aerialway	zip_line		Zip line. Simple aerial rope slides. This automatically implies oneway=yes (drawn downward).
Equipments
aerialway	pylon		Aerial lift pylon is a pylon supporting the aerialway cable.
aerialway	station		A station, where passengers can enter and/or leave the aerialway.
Others
aerialway	canopy		Obsolete, please use aerialway=zip_line instead. This automatically implies oneway=yes (drawn downward).
aerialway	goods		Controversial, consider other aerialway=* values in combination with foot=no and/or a usage=* key instead of this.
aerialway	user defined		All commonly used values according to Taginfo
