Tower Transit Bus Service 858 is an inter-town bus service that connects the residential estates of Woodlands, Sembawang, and Yishun to Changi Airport. It primarily utilises the Tampines Expressway (TPE) corridor to link the north (Yishun) with the east (Changi Airport), making it one of five bus services (bus services 161, 168, 965, and 969) popular among residents travelling between the north and east. At 73.4km long, it is the longest bus route, after the shortening of the now-withdrawn NightRider NR7 in 2014.

Travelling between NS14Khatib and CG2Changi Airport stations takes approximately 40 minutes, whereas the MRT (via NS17CC15Bishan, EW8CC9Paya Lebar, and EW4CGTanah Merah) takes approximately 65 minutes. The time saving makes this service a practical option for commuters, as compared to the MRT.

Due to the high demand for this service, articulated buses were officially introduced in 2015 to alleviate overcrowding. Previously, only single-decker buses were permitted at Changi Airport’s basement due to fleet restrictions. In 2017, bus service 110 was introduced with the opening of Changi Airport Terminal 4 to complement this service. While both services operates the same route between Tampines Expressway and Changi Airport, bus service 110 includes an additional stop at Terminal 4, which this service does not serve.

During weekdays morning peak hours, some buses will operate with a “B” suffix (Short-Trip 858B) from Jalan Kayu to Changi Airport before looping back to Jalan Kayu. These trips provide additional capacity for commuters at Tampines Expressway (Punggol bus stop), where buses often arrive filled to capacity from earlier stops.

A one-off special variant of short-trip 858B, operating from Woodlands to Jalan Kayu via Changi Airport, was operated during the 2019 Vesak Day public holiday to accommodate the increased demand for travel to Jewel Changi Airport. This adjustment addressed the surge in commuter demand during the first weekend public holiday since the opening of Jewel Changi Airport.

Buses departing Woodlands Interchange after 2315 hours will terminate at NS13Yishun station instead of continuing to Changi Airport. These trips are indicated with the “A” suffix (Short-Trip 858A).
