      Nope only since about mid 90's if I remember correctly

        At least since the early 90's.

    "For the True Ozbargainers the MRT is only 2.10 $ to the city, which might be an option if you are travelling light and don't mind the walk to the hotel from MRT station."

    if you have ever been on this line, this is not something you would want to try with baggage.

    • oz-dave on 31/12/2014 - 00:58

      I take the MRT (train), often with 3 or 4 pieces of baggage, and it's never been an issue :-)

      Singapore's MRT is actually one of the easier to navigate commuter train systems with baggage…

      • Purple on 31/12/2014 - 06:53

        My partner snd I always take the MRT train with 3 pieces of baggages. It is so easy with the MRT transport. Buy a MRT card - the cheapest way to travel in Singapore.

      • BiotBargin on 31/12/2014 - 09:28

        its also one of the most over populated for its size. obviously alot of people are using it during off-peak times because once you join the east-west line good luck. for a country with such advanced and progressive rail system, the 3 station airport hop caught me by surprise and is often commented by many travellers. the downtown line only consist of 4 cars which was also an eye opener.

      Not sure what you're talking about. I did this trip with baggage last month and had no problems whatsoever.

      Just because it's 'always' been free does not make it "not a bargain'.

      By very definition something of value given for free is the ultimate bargain.

      • Lord Fart Bucket on 31/12/2014 - 07:48

        Most STDs can be obtained for free, but I'd hardly call those bargains.

        I did this freebie back in the 90's.
        It's not like it's a new thing.

        It's like posting "Free dunnies in Europe, just goto maccas"
        It belongs in the travel forums

    • neil aus on 01/01/2015 - 13:20

      Free cinema? Whaaaat?

      • Lord Fart Bucket on 02/01/2015 - 15:43

    • MMM on 01/01/2015 - 14:09

      …Might as well post free train ride between terminals and free internet, free cinema etc

      Please do:) I need more details about the Free stuff in Singapore, going in two weeks.

      Don't know why people get so agitated about a post that makes it thru to the front page. Ahhhh… that's why we have a vote system.

      • itstuan on 01/01/2015 - 19:27

        Well there is a small cinema with showing couple movies that might be good to kill some time. Free PCs with internet and wifi everywhere in the terminals. There are couple of foot massage chairs you can sit down and relax. The butterflies garden good for some sightseeing.
        Though there's free city tour bus as OP stated. I transited there twice with around 5-6 hours gap but couldn't make it either time. Its either booked out or closed (if you transit at night)
        There are lots of activities you can do there while waiting, I certainly didnt feel bored at all. Enjoy :)

        • MMM on 01/01/2015 - 19:41

          Thanks!! appreciate you taking the time and will try some of the suggestions:)

        • itstuan on 01/01/2015 - 23:36

          @MMM: No problems, if you can't make it to the free city bus tour. It's not the end, I took a taxi to one of their attraction, Garden By The Bay, $30 each way. While the garden is free, you need to buy tix to the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome ($15 each)
          http://www.gardensbythebay.com.sg/en/home.html
          Make sure you allow enough time to come back though

        • [Deactivated] on 02/01/2015 - 08:42

          @mcp2kpro:

          Flower dome is just average. Anyway, that's how I felt. Australia has a lot of gardens and flowers so it might be a bit underwhelming.

          The cloud forest is amazing though.

        • itstuan on 02/01/2015 - 11:26

          @ms: True, I didnt go there either. But Cloud Forest is worth a look.
          I didn't have time to check out the whole garden so had to be selective.

    • akd on 31/12/2014 - 11:36

      Completely agree. I did the tour in May 2014.
      Please move it to forums as it is not a bargain.

  • crazyeric on 31/12/2014 - 00:15

    It's been this way for ages.

  • juventino on 31/12/2014 - 00:22

    thanks OP. While it has always been free, it is a good reminder that not everyone is a seasoned travellers. First time travellers will definitely appreciate this.

    • itstuan on 31/12/2014 - 18:52

      Still not a bargain, so shouldn't be a deal. Feel free to post in forum.

    I'm sure wifi and drinking water fountains are free too.. Mind blown

    • Fuzor on 31/12/2014 - 00:50

      Well it is mind blowing for an Australian. Most of our airports are too poor and cannot afford anywhere near the same infrastructure that many Asian airports have. Free Wi-Fi is mind blown

      • highdealer on 31/12/2014 - 01:05

    Changi Airport is one of the best, plenty to see and do. Very clean and nice.

  • scynaz on 31/12/2014 - 01:33

    The tour isn't that great and you're stuck on a bus (except for a short break on some of the tours). You're in transit so you will only have carry on luggage and would presumably already have your onward boarding pass. A much better option is to go through immigration yourself and get a $10 Singapore Tourist Pass with unlimited travel: http://www.thesingaporetouristpass.com.sg/singapore-tourist-…. Then explore as much as you have time for on the awesome mass transit system.

    If you already have a boarding pass you won't need to check in on your way back, just pass through immigration. Passing through immigration is a breeze since it's Singapore, not a third world airport like Sydney. Australians don't need a visa.

  • Ozsaver88 on 31/12/2014 - 02:07

    Its always free..

  • bonky on 31/12/2014 - 02:13

    If it has always been free then it's a freebie. Doesn't mean it's not a bargain. The subway sandwich on your birthday has always been free, doesn't mean it's not a bargain.

  • lolmao on 31/12/2014 - 09:02

    • James030609 on 31/12/2014 - 15:16

      Only Available for those in transit I believe. If you are going to Singapore as your destination, then it's not free
