Why this phrase
Sign decode, solo. The small plate in the lower corner of the windshield is the hail sign. Red 空車 usually means vacant, so that cab will stop. Green in that same spot usually means someone is already in it. This is not the green license plate, and it is not the taxi-stand or flag-fall videos.
