There won't be any tours at that time, but you could check out the sights yourself and walk around the city independently. It's very easy.

Take a look at the tourism idea for some sights.

Some things I can think of off the top of my head is the Singapore Flyer, the Raffle Hotel, Orchard Road if you want to shop, Chinatown or Little India, maybe the Marina Bay Sands.

The last train from the city to the airport is usually a bit before midnight. You can check here

There's bus 36 but the last bus is slightly earlier than the MRT so better stick with the train, and easier.

I believe that sightseeing trips are laid on for transit passengers, but I can't imagine them being that late in the evening. Any suggestions would be most helpful.
Also, if I do leave the airport, and as I'll be relying on public transport, when is the latest I can to get back to the Transit Hotel?

Many thanks.
