      Nope, it’s a free shuttle bus service. You might have been scammed.

      By the way, the boarding/alighting point at Great World City has been shifted to the western entrance driveway (Zion Road) since mid-December 2019. The eastern entrance (Kim Seng Road, Jason’s Grocer) has been closed for renovation works.
