  When the ezlink reader shows Out Of Service, and the bus captain did not ask to put coin, that means I took the bus service for free?

  It could be that the ezlink reader broke down, which explains the free ride. However, such occurrence are rare as buses will not be in revenue service if the reader malfunction.
  
  Another possibility, which is the more likely one, is that you chance upon a bus that promote certain products/services. It is a new initiative by Moove Media, which uses buses as lifestyle/product branding.
  
  The list of buses that appears (in order of appearance that appear on road):
  
  1. Silkpro Bus
  2. Silkair Bus
  3. Nokia Music Bus
  4. Guinness Bus
  
  Out of the four, only Nokia Music Bus is still running around. I think there are three of them in total. One of the bus is running Service 156.

  If you board the Nokia Bus on the revenue services, also must pay fares, not free. Nokia and Guinness are shuttle buses if you forgot
  
  Silkair and Silkpro buses are free buses on revenue services. other "concept".
  others are: Singtel, Fidelity etc
