Albert Mall Trishaw Park, Singapore

Albert Mall Trishaw Park is a place where trishaw paddlers - called Trishaw Uncles - congregate to wait for customers. It is located at Albert Street, the pedestrian mall between Albert Centre and Fu Lu Shou Complex. The trishaw park was sited there as it has a high level of pedestrian movement, and also higher likelihood of clients.

To provide greater comfort to both rider and passengers, the new trishaws have battery-assisted operation. The seating area is also enlarged so that passengers enjoy a more comfortable ride.
A waiting area is created for passengers where they can get some background about trishaw riding, while waiting for their ride. To ensure a smooth operation, a ticketing kiosk prepares the ticketing prior to the ride. At the kiosk, passengers get to view an introductory video, giving them an idea of what to expect.
Getting there
