Having staying in Singapore for a long period, you would appreciate a facility here very much- Covered walkway.
The covered walkways built in Singapore is so complete and wide coverage, to the extend one doesn't really need an umbrella when travel outside eg from home to workplace , back and flo.
As you may know, Singapore located at the equatorial region , where rains happened frequently when typically is rain in the evening after a day hot sun. So one will have to carry an umbrella with you, if you don't wish rain to stop your journey to elsewhere.
But covered walkway is so complete here , for an example, I can walk from my home to the nearest Metro station , which is 2 bus stops away , via this link walkway.
This is built under the MRT track. People also get to exercise here 24/7 regardless if it rains or not. Be it night time or sunny day- all are sheltered and covered.
Also the government initiated the project of taking care of the wheelchaired person as well in the near decade.
Not only building up a lot of sloped ramp for wheelchaired person, for bicycle rider as well. But many of this slope ramps are built with cover also.
Yup. From my house covered walkway to bus stop , take bus to nearest MRT, then I'm covered all the way to office 😁
