Riding a Trishaw in the Rain to Make a Living 1951
Trishaws first surfaced in Singapore in April 1914, and were reintroduced to Singapore during the Japanese Occupation. A Syonan Shimbun article published on 8 August 1942 reported that the first batch of 10 trishaws (referred to as 'ricksha-cycles' in the article) began operating on 7 August 1943, with an official fare of 15 cents per mile.
