Bus Rush Fever Level 396 Walkthrough

Level 396 Walkthrough

Level 396 is about steady slot management: Park vehicles into their right parking slots to pick up passengers. The safest approach is to make each parking move only when it supports the next visible passenger group.

Use the order below as the main route through the stage. If your layout has shifted after a game update, follow the same color-matching logic and keep the most flexible slots open until the passenger flow is clear.

Level Snapshot

• Objective: Park vehicles into their right parking slots to pick up passengers.
• Difficulty: Medium
• Estimated time: 1-2 minutes
• Key mechanic: Matching vehicle colors to passenger colors and strategically filling slots.
• Layout read: The level features a VIP slot, four regular parking slots, and two plus slots. Passengers are arranged in a winding path. Vehicles of various colors (pink, teal, brown, yellow, purple, blue) are available to be moved.

Best Strategy

The best strategy for Level 396 is to solve the passenger flow in small waves. Start with the vehicle that matches the first useful passenger color, then place the next vehicle only when it can start boarding soon. This keeps the parking area from locking up with vehicles that are waiting for the wrong color.

Treat VIP and plus slots as flexible parking tools. A VIP slot is useful for the opening move, while plus slots give you extra room when several colors appear close together. The important part is not the slot label by itself; it is whether that slot helps the right vehicle fill and leave.

Vehicle Order

1. Pink car: Move the pink car to the VIP slot. The VIP slot is the first available slot and can take the pink car.
2. Teal car: Move the teal car to the first regular parking slot. This clears a path for other vehicles and matches the teal passengers.
3. Brown car: Move the brown car to the second regular parking slot. This allows the brown passengers to board and frees up space.
4. Yellow car: Move the yellow car to the third regular parking slot. This matches the yellow passengers and continues to clear the path.
5. Purple car: Move the purple car to the fourth regular parking slot. This matches the purple passengers and prepares for the final vehicles.
6. Blue car: Move the blue car to the first plus slot. This accommodates the blue passengers and utilizes the plus slot.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Drag the pink car to the VIP slot. This allows the pink passengers to board and begins clearing the area.
2. Move the teal car to the first regular parking slot. This matches the teal passengers and creates space.
3. Move the brown car to the second regular parking slot. This allows the brown passengers to board.
4. Move the yellow car to the third regular parking slot. This matches the yellow passengers and continues to clear the path.
5. Move the purple car to the fourth regular parking slot. This matches the purple passengers and prepares for the remaining vehicles.
6. Move the blue car to the first plus slot. This accommodates the blue passengers and utilizes the plus slot.
7. Continue moving the remaining vehicles to their right parking slots or plus slots as they become available. This ensures all passengers are picked up and the level is cleared.

Common Mistakes

• Avoid this: Parking a vehicle in a slot that does not match the color of the passengers currently available.
• Avoid this: Blocking the path of other vehicles by parking them incorrectly.
• Avoid this: Not utilizing the plus slots, leading to a cluttered play area.

A useful habit is to pause for a moment after each vehicle leaves. That empty slot is often the difference between a clean clear and a jammed board. If two colors are visible at once, prioritize the one with the most passengers already waiting.

Troubleshooting

• A vehicle is blocking the path of other necessary vehicles: Undo the last move if possible, or try to maneuver other vehicles around the obstruction if space allows. Sometimes, a vehicle needs to be moved to a plus slot to clear a path.
• There are no available slots for a needed vehicle: Check if any vehicles have already picked up their passengers and driven away. If not, try to free up a slot by parking a vehicle that matches available passengers.
• A vehicle is parked but passengers are not boarding: Move or wait for a vehicle that matches the visible passenger color, because mismatched passengers will not board.
• All slots feel blocked: Let the vehicle closest to filling leave first, then use the open slot for the next matching color.
• The final passengers are stuck: Scan the remaining vehicles by color and place the one that matches the passengers still waiting.

FAQ

Q: What is the purpose of the VIP slot?

A: The VIP slot is a designated parking slot, often the first one available, for a specific colored vehicle.

Q: What do the plus slots do?

A: Plus slots are additional parking spaces that can be used for any matching colored vehicle.

Q: What happens when a vehicle is full?

A: Once a vehicle has picked up all its passengers, it drives away, freeing up the parking slot.

Q: What is the goal of Level 396?

A: Park the right vehicles so same-colored passengers can board, fill the vehicles, and clear the level.

Q: Should I use the VIP slot first?

A: Use the VIP slot early when it helps the first passenger color, but keep watching the next colors before filling every slot.

Final Tip

Always match the vehicle color to the passenger color before parking. The cleanest clears come from matching the current passenger color first, then immediately using the next free slot for the following vehicle.
