Ah ha! The only question left unanswered is why it does not appear to be a loop.

There is no 17A.

Good question,SBST might want and renumbered it but with a bit of amendment.68 i know will pass by near my home.

From the looks of it, seems like 68 will have the following route
Pasir Ris Interchange
Pasir Ris Dr 1
Pasir Ris Dr 12
Tampines Ave 10
Tampines Ave 9
Tampines Ave 6
Tampines Ave 5
Tampines Ave 4
Tampines Concourse (loop) back to Pasir Ris.
* route seems pretty normal, nothing great. So I hope the route is different than this one.

It's not Ave 9 as seen from the map... Most likely future roads in Tampines North.

You mean complimenting 168, 27 & 72? That makes sense actually, but seeing that the area still look like it is not ready

I wouldn't say 68 is just meant to compliment 168, 27, 72...
Currently 68 is the only service that goes inside Tampines North (area bounded by Tampines Ave 9, Ave 10 and TPE) from what we know. The other 3 services only ply the outskirts (i.e. Ave 9 and Ave 10). There has been a lot of constructions going on there, and soon you will see 68 becoming another 102.

102 is getting full DDs nowadays...

I was thinking of how to replace 858B with a trunk service and this came to my mind. Although it will probably never happen.
Service 986: Choa Chu Kang - Changi Airport (Loop)

Why the need for public buses to go at that speed?Just a good acceleration and an allowance of extra 2 kmh(62kmh) is more than enough.Singaporean drivers very kaypoh type,You all the way chiong 75kmh already kena stomped.

Tampines North would make sense but that is only in 2019 that the first set of flats in Tampines North will be ready. It if it not ave 9, it will be ave 5. But since there is 118/46 recently launched in ave 5, I think the map indicates ave 9 here and tampines concourse.

But don't you think it is too early for 68 to go into Tampines North when the first flats will be ready only in 2019?

102 is doing much better these days. I took it twice few days ago and the loading was good. See the "loading" thread. Contrary to what I thought, there is quite good intra-town loading for 102.
The DD in opposite direction from Jalan Kayu to Hougang consistently had 50+ pax, peaking before Sengkang MRT and then loading falls and again peaks at Buangkok MRT.
Since frequency remains at 10-14 mins, the DDs are helping ensure there is no one left behind.
But full fleet DDs already is a bit too much. 85 loading still stuck around 50-60 pax maximum.

The map has been taken down, but from what I remember it's something like this:
Ave 9 is indicated by the black box.
So 68 does use a small part of Ave 9, but not the entire stretch like 27. Of course it's always possible that 68 will only be introduced as Ave 10 - Ave 9 direct, and will only be amended into Tampines North in 2019.

After checking the URA Master Plan, I guess the route in Tampines should be like this:
(Red line seems more likely than blue line)

Service 256, 252, 192 amendment:

I might think 68 will start with 4 SDs and 3 DDs(5 A/P 2 S)

The fact that they have taken the route out, it might change as the current one doesn't look interesting at all.
