The goal
- Find a vehicle whose road out of the lot is clear: its arrow shows the way it drives.
- Tap it. It drives out of the lot to a free bay at the station.
- Passengers at the front of the queue board vehicles of their own colour.
- Full vehicles depart and free their bay. Board everyone to clear the level.
Every level has a queue of passengers in different colours and a lot packed with vans and buses. Your job is to get every passenger onto a vehicle of the same colour. Clear the whole queue and you win; fast clears earn up to three stars.
Tap a vehicle to drive it out
Each vehicle can only drive forward, in the direction its arrow points. If another vehicle is in the way, it honks and the blocker flashes red. Nothing is lost, but the tap is wasted. Look at the edge of the lot first: freeing those vehicles opens roads for the rest.
Station bays: where the real puzzle is
Vehicles that leave the lot park in a bay at the station, usually four to six of them. Passengers board only from the front of the queue, so order matters: a red bus waits in its bay until red passengers reach the front.
Full vehicles depart and free their bay. If every bay holds a colour nobody at the front needs, the station jams. You get a rescue, a booster or an instant retry, but the aim is never to get there.
Vehicle sizes
- Van: 4 seats
- Bus: 6 seats
- Double-decker: 10 seats
The dots on the roof show the free seats. Big vehicles soak up long runs of one colour; small vans are perfect for a few stragglers.
Special vehicles and passengers
- Ice: a frozen vehicle thaws one step every time another vehicle departs.
- Padlock: opens when any vehicle of the key colour departs.
- Mystery: the colour stays hidden until the road ahead of it is clear.
- VIP: golden passengers are worth big bonus points.
- Tunnels: hidden vehicles roll out one by one whenever the space in front is clear; the badge shows how many are left.
- One-way arrows: a vehicle crossing an arrow has to turn its way.
- Big luggage: suitcase passengers take two seats.
- Boss levels: every 20th level has a hand-built lot shape and pays double coins.
Combos, Fever and Express
Departures within 5 seconds of each other chain a combo. A ×4 combo ignites Fever: every point counts double for 8 seconds. Departures also fill the Rush meter; when it is full, a temporary Express bay opens until its vehicle leaves.
Stars and coins
Clear a level within its par time for 3 stars, within twice the par for 2 stars, otherwise 1. Using two or more boosters in a level costs one star. Coins come from stars, VIP riders and your best combo, and you spend them on boosters.
Put it into practice: your next level is one tap away.
