How it's used
This is a specific proper noun referring to the oldest MTR line in Hong Kong. It is often colloquially referred to by its line colour, which is green, so you might hear people talk about the green line when discussing the network. When giving directions, locals frequently use the line name as a shorthand for the general direction of travel towards the eastern Kowloon districts.
