Peak-hour road traffic was lighter, there were fewer commuters on trains, and lunchtime crowds were significantly smaller than usual for a working day yesterday, the second weekday after Singapore's return to phase two of its reopening.
When The Straits Times visited office hot spots in Raffles Place and Buona Vista and at Marina Bay Financial Centre during the morning rush hour and at lunchtime, the areas were generally deserted.
