Hong Kong taxis have been one vehicle for decades and that's the crown. Sitting on the bus feels like a trip back to the '90s.
A red Hong Kong taxi plate could cost more than 7 million yuan, while a cheaper green taxi would cost more than 5 million yuan.
The reason why the red license plate is more expensive than the green license plate is that the red taxi can run all over Hong Kong, while the green one can only run in the designated area.
