In the olden days, the trishaw was a very popular mode of
transport in Malacca or Melaka as it is knew today. The elderly
used the trishaw to take them to the clinic. Housewives took the
trishaw when coming back from the market with her heavy
baskets. Schoolchildren took the trishaw to and from school.
Therefore, it is clear that a trishaw was a very common sight in
town these days. It was also common to see a family taking a
trishaw ride to the cinema in town. Parents would sat on the thinly
cushioned seat while children would squat at their feet, held on to
the iron bar in front of them. The trishaw puller usual cycled
barefoot, used hand signals when making a turn. When a pedestrian
or cyclist blocked their way, he would sound the bicycle bell in his
thumb and forefinger. It was pitiful to see old trishaw puller having
to pedal for their livelihood. Trishaw ride was a mere 40 cents or
so. Trishaw pullers were usually seen lining up the streets waiting
for passengers. Over time, these trishaw pullers became close
friends with their passengers. And of course, they were their
regular customers.
