One way to get more people comfortably out at night, enjoying the city with friends and family, is to simply separate people from vehicles and then align and meet their needs along the way.

As a foreigner who is accustomed to a network of sidewalks alongside streets, I naturally walk to a destination as if I were driving my Passat. Using that approach in Singapore has left me dazed and confused for the pedestrian network is fundamentally different perhaps more integrated with daily life.

The travel path from this pedestrian overcrossing to the Hotel goes through the neighboring mall then another sky bridge without ever walking next to a vehicle.

This is initially counterintuitive, but more enjoyable once I discovered the route. Live music, shops, Starbucks and more wtth no chance for a vehicle collision. At multiple locations I can easily slip to the street to meet a for hire taxi at an arranged location.
