Before MRTs and air-conditioned buses, Singapore was a different world back in the 1950s. People had less. They stayed home more. And when they did go out, just hopping on a trishaw or catching a bus could be a whole experience.

Life then was harder, messier, but wildly unforgettable. Food arrived in different forms, from pushcarts to bicycle vendors, served with none of today’s convenience. Seniors recall a time when travelling around Singapore was a different world. Even a simple trip out could turn into a wild adventure.

Season 2 of Let Me Tell You A Story aired Aug. 9, 2025, on Channel News Asia.
