Rickshaws outside the General Post Office near the Cavenagh Bridge

The rickshaw (or jinrickshaw) is a lightweight, two-wheeled cart drawn by a puller. It was a cheap, efficient and popular mode of transportation in Singapore. It was eventually replaced by more modern forms of transportations such as motorised vehicles.
