Tower Transit Bus Service 855 is an inter-town bus service that connects the residential estates of Yishun, Sembawang Hills, Upper Thomson, Queenstown and Bukit Merah to the waterfront district of HarbourFront.

This service plies the western section of the Outer Ring Road System (ORRS) via Lornie Highway and Farrer Road, thereby offering a time-competitive alternative to Service 167 between Upper Thomson and Bukit Merah. It has also seen a boost in demand in passenger trips to nearby stations with the opening of Thomson–East Coast Line Stages 2 and 3.
