Unless a great number of route 855 buses go out of action for
one reason or another again, there is no reason for SMRT to even
think of putting it even on weekends - it terminates at end-on
berths at both ends (although the end-on berths at Habourfront are
quite comfortable with bendy buses), and the other reason, as you
can see in the photographs, is the problem of kosong passengers even with four buses
out of action - this usually means whatever replacement buses are
packed from front door to rear. Speaking of which, how come there's
only the driver and no one else on the bus? Surely there must be a
few more...
I never did knew that the old route 160 had bendy buses - I did
knew that it was cursed with the Hino RKs right up to around the
time they were withdrawn, much like how it is cursed today with
Nissan U31RCNs as route 980 
.
As for TIB 838H, I thought it ended up on rote 176 after it ran on
171?
I think I saw a MB O405G Hispano MKII bendy sometime around then
too. I mentioned elsewhere around here that it was the last time I
saw a bendy bus on route 171 - I think it was that time when they
tried putting bendy buses on weekends on that route.

suspect 79A also cos I saw it turning out of AMK Av 9.
Scanias are the best buses.
Thats nice. at least i stand a chance to see Scania on 161 &
168 when they cameo! Btw BNDEP wont be lack of buses after the
Scania left[/b]
Wait later routes 39 and 168 end up using full fleet of Scanias
.
Oh, and by the way, a test to confrim your suspicions if it was SBS
79A: did that bus have an additional, small-sized pod on it's roof
at the rear? SBS 79A's distinctive feature is it's modified
air-conditioner, which adds another pod to it's roof.
