Should we remove the “cars” tag?

Question

We currently have 4 questions tagged cars.

We also have 2 questions tagged travel. One of those is also tagged cars, and the other mentions cars, so should have the cars tag if we decide to keep it.

However, do we need both cars and travel? It seems to me that any question involving cars implies travel. Is there a sufficient distinction to merit two separate tags?

If so, is cars what we want? What about trucks, boats, trains, etc.? I would prefer not to see separate tags for each of those, so if we need a tag to accomplish what cars is trying to do, perhaps we should reconsider the name?

Answer 1

I think travel works best in this case, and adding other modes of transportation tags seems somewhat superfluous, and I don't think there is enough distinction to warrant a second more specific tag.

Answer 2

Well, let's look at the four questions:

(1) What are the risks of leaving a dog unattended in the car?

The answer to this question (and this question itself) really applies to any vehicle; in this sense, cars is not appropriate, but neither is travel; safety is fine on its own.

(2) Long Car Trips with my Dog and (3) How can I keep my cats safe in my car?

travel is much more appropriate for these, with cars as a synonym.

(4) What's a suitable way to drive with a big dog in the car?

Both travel (cars as synonym) and safety for this, since you can have a big dog in a tight space in other vehicles.
