There will be some gray areas and some differences from one jurisdiction to another (e.g. taxis and ridehail may be regulated under the same rules on one place, but different rules in another). MDS will not pre-define a complete taxonomy of modes, or identify every modal boundary upfront, but will instead add modes on an as-needed basis, maintaining as much consistency of naming as possible.
