Designed to reduce traffic congestion in the Central Business District (CBD), the key concept underlying the ALS was that a special supplementary licence had to be obtained at a cost if a motorist wanted to enter the CBD’s restricted zone (RZ). The ALS was the world’s first area licensing scheme when it was launched in Singapore. It was one of a series of stringent measures undertaken by the Singapore government to ease traffic congestion in the city area. Other traffic management measures introduced at that time included the Park-and-Ride scheme and car pooling.

After the war, the Diana saw service in the Tenasserim region of Burma before being sent back to Calcutta in 1835 to be broken up. The second Diana was built by J. A. Currie & Co. at Sulkea, near Calcutta. Launched in October 1836, the new Diana arrived in Singapore on 2 March 1837. The history of the latter Diana is closely linked to its shipmaster, Captain Samuel Congalton, who was instrumental in the fight against rampant piracy in the waters off Singapore during the 1830s.

The trishaw was a popular mode of public transportation in the immediate years following the end of the Japanese Occupation (1942 to 1945) in Singapore, but started to suffer a decline in popularity from the mid-1950s onwards. By the late 1970s, trishaw riders were regarded as a dying breed with most of them primarily involved in the tourism trade.
