Bus Traffic Fever Level 172 Answer & Walkthrough Solution

Quick answer

Level 172 features a very tight, scattered cluster of small buses and mid-sized buses blocking each other’s escape angles. Success depends on methodically plucking out outer-facing vehicles whose paths to the edge of the screen are completely unobstructed, matching incoming colors on the horseshoe passenger loop, and keeping staging slots open to absorb transition vehicles when clearing deep blockages.

Tips for success

• Check the Exit Corridors: Because Level 172 is packed with small, tightly grouped buses, always double-check that a vehicle’s exit path is fully clear of bumpers before tapping it to avoid wasting moves.
• Prioritize High-Capacity Buses: High-capacity buses (24–40 capacity) clear huge chunks of the passenger queue in one go, freeing up valuable parking slots quickly.
• Keep Staging Buffer Slots Open: Try to keep at least two empty parking slots available so you have room to extract blocking buses without getting stuck in a complete gridlock.
