Service 123M primarily serves residents along Lower Delta Road and Bukit Purmei Avenue with connections to amenities around Tiong Bahru MRT and HarbourFront MRT/Int. The route operates daily as a supplementary service of Service 123, enhancing bus connections for residents in these areas.

Formerly a weekday evening peak route between Bukit Purmei and Tiong Bahru MRT, the extended route provides better access to commuters heading to Harbourfront MRT station and Tiong Bahru MRT station, as well as gives convenient access to amenities such as Bukit Purmei Hillock Park, HarbourFront Centre, Radin Mas Primary School and VivoCity.

This service calls at several bus stops in Bukit Purmei estate twice in different directions, i.e. towards Tiong Bahru Road and towards HarbourFront. Red and white service plates are used to distinguish the direction of travel in addition to Electronic Display Signages (EDS) on buses. Red plate indicates buses heading for Tiong Bahru Road; white plate indicates buses heading for HarbourFront.
