Bus Traffic Fever Level 257 Answer & Walkthrough Solution

Quick answer

Level 257 features a crowded, scattered lot of horizontal and vertical vehicles serving alternating passenger waves of Brown, Pink, Cyan, Yellow, Green, and Purple. The winning strategy requires using the top horizontal buses to feed the front queues while opening pathways to the tightly packed center, carefully parking staging vehicles (like Yellow and Purple) without filling all five slots, and systematically clearing the column of vertical buses at the bottom.

Step-by-step solution

Phase 1: Clearing Initial Brown, Pink, and Cyan Queues

1. Tap the horizontal Brown bus on the middle-left. It enters the first slot to board the leading brown passengers.
2. Tap the horizontal Yellow bus in the upper-middle area into the second slot.
3. Tap the horizontal Cyan bus near the top into the third slot.
4. Tap the horizontal Pink bus in the upper-center area into the fourth slot.
5. Tap the horizontal Brown bus in the upper-right into the fifth slot. Brown passengers will board and clear this bus.
6. Tap the horizontal Brown bus on the middle-right into the newly opened fifth slot. Brown passengers finish boarding and clear both brown buses.
7. Pink passengers now reach the front and board the waiting Pink bus. Tap the horizontal Cyan bus on the upper-left into the first slot.
8. Tap the horizontal Yellow bus on the middle-right into the fifth slot.
9. Once the Pink bus departs, Cyan passengers board both waiting Cyan buses, clearing two slots. Tap the vertical Pink bus on the middle-left into the first slot.
10. Tap the horizontal Pink bus on the lower-right into the third slot. Both pink buses fill up and depart immediately.

Phase 2: Unlocking Green, Yellow, and Purple Buses

11. The waiting Yellow buses now board the incoming yellow passenger wave and both depart, clearing all slots.
12. Tap the horizontal Brown bus in the lower-middle area into the first slot to board front brown passengers.
13. Tap the horizontal Yellow bus in the lower-center into the second slot.
14. Tap the horizontal Yellow bus on the bottom-right into the third slot.
15. As the Brown bus departs, tap the horizontal Pink bus in the middle-center into the first slot.
16. Tap the horizontal Green bus on the middle-left into the fourth slot. Green passengers board and clear this bus immediately.
17. Tap the horizontal Purple bus at the bottom-right into the fifth slot.
18. Pink passengers board and clear the Pink bus, followed by Yellow passengers boarding and clearing both Yellow buses.
19. Tap the horizontal Cyan bus in the middle-center into the first slot.
20. Tap the horizontal Cyan bus on the lower-right into the second slot. Cyan passengers board and clear both, followed by Purple passengers clearing the waiting Purple bus.

Phase 3: Cycling the Midfield Color Waves

30. Tap the horizontal Yellow bus on the lower-left into the third slot. Once the Brown bus departs, Yellow passengers board and clear both buses.

Phase 4: Final Sequence and Cleanup

32. Tap the horizontal Purple bus on the far-right into the second slot.
33. Tap the horizontal Cyan bus in the middle-center into the first slot. Cyan passengers board and clear it.

41. Finally, tap the vertical Brown bus at the bottom-center into the second slot. The remaining brown passengers board both buses to complete the level.

Tips for success

• Stagger Multi-Colored Parking: Yellow buses appear frequently throughout the field; let them hold in parking slots only when you know their queue wave is just one or two groups away.
• Free the Lower Vertical Lane: The central column of vertical buses (Brown, Cyan, Pink) cannot exit until all the horizontal buses crossing their paths are cleared out. Focus on dismantling the horizontal layer first.
• Monitor Dual Departures: Whenever you have two buses of the same color parked, ensure the passenger queue has enough numbers to clear both so you don’t stall your parking bays.
