(Sembawang – Yishun Bus Package)

Tower Transit Bus Service 857 is an trunk bus service which connects the town centre of Yishun to the industrial estates along Yio Chu Kang Road, the residential estate of Bendemeer, and the central areas of Little India and the Downtown Core.

Despite being a trunk service, 857 plies the express sector of the Central Expressway (CTE) between Yio Chu Kang Rd and Bendemeer, which also makes it the only full-day service to provide a fast connection between Yishun and the city area besides the Yishun City Direct Services that only operate during peak hours. It sees popular demand during weekday peak hours on weekends, with most commuters commuting to and fro Little India, and this leads to the introduction of downroute trips from Little India to alleviate the huge surge in demand.

During the era under Trans-Island Buses and subsequently under SMRT Buses, buses display the "SUNTEC CITY" scroll in the Temasek Avenue direction as an easy landmark to identify for commuters taking this service.
