10 tips to beat hard levels in Bus Blitz+
Hard levels are rarely about speed. They are about order: which vehicle leaves when, and which bay it takes. These ten habits come straight from how the game’s solver checks that every level can be won.

1. Read the queue before your first tap
Look at the first 8 to 12 passengers. The colours at the front decide which vehicles are useful right now. A blue bus parked in a bay while the front of the queue is red and green is a bay you have lost.
2. Always keep one bay free
An empty bay is your safety net. While one is open you can react to a surprise colour from a mystery car or a tunnel. Down to the last bay? Only send a vehicle the front of the queue can fill.
3. Match the vehicle to the run of colour
Count how many passengers of one colour stand in a row. A run of nine reds wants a 10-seat double-decker, or a bus plus a van, not three vans fighting over bays.
4. Free the edges first
Vehicles on the outside of the lot rarely block anything when they leave, while one vehicle in the middle can hold up five others. Think two or three taps ahead: which tap opens the most roads?
5. Open padlocks and thaw ice early
A padlocked vehicle opens when any vehicle of its key colour departs, and ice melts one step per departure. Spend early departures on those triggers so the locked vehicles are ready when their colour reaches the front.
6. Reveal mystery cars while you still have room
A mystery car shows its colour only once its road is clear. Clear that road early, while you still have free bays to use whatever colour it turns out to be.
7. Chain departures for Fever
Departures within 5 seconds build a combo, and ×4 ignites Fever: double points for 8 seconds. Line up two or three almost-full vehicles and let them go together. Score, stars and coins all go up.
8. Treat the Express bay as a bonus, not a plan
The Rush meter opens a temporary Express bay. Give it a vehicle that will fill quickly, because the bay closes as soon as that vehicle departs.
9. Spend boosters with purpose
Magnet pulls matching passengers forward: the best fix when one colour is buried in the queue. Crane lifts a boxed-in vehicle straight to the station. +Bay buys breathing room. Two boosters in one level cost a star, so pick the one that solves the actual problem.
10. Undo and retry are free lessons
Every level is checked by a solver, so a solution always exists. If you jam, undo a couple of moves or retry instantly: the board stays the same and the second attempt is usually the clean one. Still stuck? Hint shows a move from the real solver.
Put it into practice: your next level is one tap away.
