Bus Traffic Fever Level 296 Answer & Walkthrough Solution

Quick answer

Level 296 features a dense grid of tightly packed buses below and a long, alternating passenger line at the top. The challenge lies in managing parking lot capacity while clearing layered buses, as brown, teal, and pink passengers dominate early queues. The key strategy is strategically moving teal and brown buses into parking spaces to board immediately, while parking yellow and blue vehicles only when necessary to free the path for blocked colors.

36. Tap the horizontal pink bus in the lower area to clear the next segment of pink passengers.
37. Tap the remaining vertical brown bus into parking to clear the final brown line.
38. Tap the last horizontal pink bus into the bay to board the final passengers and complete the level.

Tips for success

• Watch the Brown & Pink Backlog: Brown and pink passengers appear in long, alternating segments throughout the level. Avoid sending yellow or blue buses to parking unless they are actively needed to clear obstructions.
• Keep One Bay Free: With a 5-slot parking lot, never allow more than 4 inactive buses to sit simultaneously, or you risk an immediate fail state when an unaligned color blocks progress.
• Prioritize Exterior Unblockers: Vehicles around the perimeter (especially on the left and right edges) hold the keys to loosening the packed center grid—tap them the moment their passenger color reaches the front.
