Service 63 is a trunk route connecting the residential estates of Kampong Ubi, MacPherson, Tiong Bahru and Bukit Merah to the central areas of Bugis, Clarke Quay and Chinatown. It is an important route between the Ubi Industrial Estate and Eunos MRT for many workers, and it also connects Rumah Tinggi and its surrounding Redhill estates with connections to Tiong Bahru MRT station.
With few services serving the Rumah Tinggi estate, this service links the estate to Tiong Bahru MRT. Also, demand between Ubi Industrial Estate and Eunos MRT is high during peak hours, and Service 63M helps to relieve some of that loading.
Rumah Tinggi:
Service 63 was converted to a bi-directional service on 26 Oct 2025, where all passengers must alight at Jalan Rumah Tinggi (Opp Blk 36).
It previously was a loop service which unofficially terminated at Rumah Tinggi Terminal. Formally a proper terminal, it was downgraded to a looping point with parking spaces for two buses. Bus drivers do not end their trip there; they take a short break before continuing off. As a loop service, passengers can remain onboard the bus; although it was observed in the past that passengers are told to alight and re-board the bus after the driver’s break. The bus stop, formerly named Rumah Tinggi Terminal, was renamed Bus Stop 10599 – Opp Blk 36.

The practice that all passengers are to alight and re-board 63 at Rumah Tinggi will be re-formalised from 26 Oct 2025 because it is currently an informal practice that all passengers have to alight and re-board 63 since the abolishment of Rumah Tinggi Ter.
