If you’re a expat or a tourist chances are you don’t know that there are three taxi colours in Hong Kong. You’ve only likely seen the Hong Kong red taxis.
Pictured above are the Hong Kong green taxis. These serve the New Territories (remember that Hong Kong is made up of three major regions – Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.) You won’t often see these in Kowloon and never on the Island.
You’re wondering why you haven’t seen them? Well even if you venture off Hong Kong Island, Kowloon is still a large area. So you’ve likely never ventured into the areas that are marked as “New Territories”. You may have hit the outskirts of such but at the overlap areas, you’ll probably still find a sizeable number of red taxis.
