Description

A taxi icon would be useful to go along with the bus, train, ferry, etc mode of transportation icons.

The specific case I was looking at was `amenity=taxi_stand` rendering, but this would apply to lots of taxi-related features.

I recommend the same concept as the car icons.

The most common taxi icon I see is a car with a symbolized taxi light on top. Examples include

https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/symbols/taxi.svg

Research direction

Compare the existing car icons with the referenced transport/taxi-14.svg and symbols/taxi.svg examples, then inspect how icons are selected for amenity=taxi_stand. Add a taxi icon consistent with the bus, train, ferry, and car concepts, and verify that it supports taxi-related features.
