That is the weakest link to get the area will be extended to the area planning official are not considered to provide the bus service

I don't think 123 will be able to use DD south of Sentosa, even though if they use DD, might as well terminate at Resorts World Sentosa Terminus only ma. The rule is simple, the streetcar bridge is 4.3 metres in height. Our double decker is 4.4 metres in height.
Same as JB Checkpoint/Woodlands Checkpoint.
Might as well say, have a special service called 123A (Bukit Merah - Resorts World Sentosa via Orchard Rd) for double deckers. Like Joo Koon/Tuas Link case scenario.
How come the in-bound trip to beach station enter RWS but nt the outbound trip? Should be both ways plies RWS

Stuck doesnt mean height restrictions but more to traffic jams
LTA planning official are wasting route from the area sure that not planning on the bus service will be empty bus service
Even sbstransit bus service 13/25/43 &55 extended to upper East coast terminal area are not used and the results are empty bus service at the route should extended to changi business terminal and
Then you want every terminal is full of people ah?You want every bus service full of ppl?Purpose of extending 25 to UEC is to relieve Bedok Int and provide connections.55 need terminating place.Im not suprised if 62 also terminate at Geylang in future.
I not considered to but bus service 966 should extended to lor 1 terminal bus service 15 should extended to stadium area

If 25 extend to UEC to relieve BDK why 155 even go BDK at all?
123 call at RWS in 1 direction only?
123 accepts concession pass, and charges distance fares. This is a new way to enter Sentosa without having to pay the $1 admission fee, $3 Sentosa Express, or the RWS express bus fares.
In terms of overall distance, it may be longer. But considering 123 charges normal fares, one could save some money by taking 123 at Tiong Bahru, instead of Sentosa Express at HarbourFront. Yay.
25 did have some demand from bedok south twd amk during pm peak so
123M can be merged into 122 like someone here suggested in order to avoid confusion between 123/123M so it will be from HarbourFront - Commonwealth Ave via Kim Tian Road and Tiong Bahru MRT. At least this way 122 will be more utilized as compared to the current state it is in..
After the amendment I forsee that 123 is probably going to be a cashcow route because its probably going to be pretty popular among tourists whose hotels are primarily in Havelock/Clemenceau/Orchard.
As for DD on 123, Bukit Purmei Ave there got DD restriction, no? Should just beef up 123M's frequency maybe the 123 DM3500s can fleet add to 123M.

Would be even better if 123 can call at RWS in both directions. I guess LTA has their own reasons, but I'm still disappointed...
123 can use bendy bus if need to. just transfer from SMRT. Maybe can also transfer 3-door SG4002G as well.

Maybe LTA should consider getting more A24s under SG rego. These can be used where height restrictions preclude the operation of DDs on the route.

Makes little sense that 123 will only call at RWS in the forward direction. What of those headed for TB and Orchard from RWS?
for those who dont believe so be it... dont be surprised if end up really got DD on 123

Probably becuz otherwise RWS8 become useless and more expensive
