    Question how come NT taxies won't go to sha tin?

    i always thought sha tin is in new territory. but when i tried to get a green taxi from ma on shan to sha tin, the taxi driver told me that i need to get a red taxi. pretty confused. i thought green taxis can go anywhere in the new territory.
