  actually can. i heard of a bendy deployed on 858 once but they scraped the idea. i suppose the chief driver was trying it out tat day, many yrs back.

  I heard that it was because the roads at the terminal there were simply too narrow to run the bus comfortably through it.
  
  Anyway, I could like to know if there were any photos of it.

  This was similar to Sv 103, when it was under Tibs.

  Is that the road just beside the old jalan kayu teminal? Actually now, there is a much wider road just besides the narro road where the buses always utilise. Just a question of curiosity, why do all those buses such as service 39, 86, 168, 858 uses the small and narrow road instead of the wider road which cars and lorries are normally using?

  coz' it will be a crazy right turn for these svcs frm the bus stop b4 the gate. for svcs aft the gate, they need the allowance to line up str8 on the left.

  but Sv 103 didn't really need bendies, nor have i heard of any deployed on it before. then, it and 866 had lances. damn.

  Please do not talk rubbish here.. there wasnt even a demo bendy running on 103 before.. yes did heard that there was a bendy on 858 yrs back but it only ran for a day.. But as for 103, ive not seen a single 103 Bendy from what i know.. Just because that you've read an article dated years ago saying that Bendies MIGHT be deployed on service like 103 but that doesnt mean that there is a bendy on 103. Please get your facts right.. From my memory, the only bendies that ran along NE area are only 854 82 864 853(twice)..

  I remember seeing Box bendies on Sv858 @ Changi Airport. The BCs didnt have a good time turning into Terminal 1.
