How to Beat Bus Fever Party Level 259
Level 259 comes in two layouts, and both have two purple garages, so the edge they sit on is the thing to check: along the bottom, pointing up, or along the left side, lying sideways. The plan holds for both lots: free the loose buses first, keep one spot open in the waiting row, and let each garage feed the row only when the queue calls for its bus.
Below you will find six screenshots for each layout, then the places where runs usually stop. The garages run on counters of 4, so every bus you let out of one has to find a spot, and the order of taps decides whether it does.
| Layouts in the game | 2: two purple garages on the bottom edge pointing up, and two purple garages on the left edge lying sideways |
|---|---|
| Buses at the start | about 40 in each layout |
| Waiting spots | bottom-garage lot: VIP and 7 grey; left-garage lot: VIP, 4 grey, 3 green with a plus |
| Special elements | two garages with counters at 4 in each layout; long buses at angles in the middle of the left-garage lot |
| Boosters on screen | VIP, Arrange, Jumble |
Which Garages Do You See
Find the purple garages. If they stand along the bottom edge, pointing up, with a counter of 4 on each and a lane between them, the buses above them are scattered in loose upright rows, and the row offers the VIP spot plus seven grey spots, that is the classic layout; read the first walkthrough. If the garages lie sideways on the left edge, pointing to the right, one above the other, with long buses at angles in the middle of the lot, and the row shows four grey spots with three green ones, that is the newer layout; read the second walkthrough.
The game serves both lots, so two players on level 259 can see different pictures. Colors of buses and passengers are mixed from run to run, so the steps below are tied to position and length, not to color.
Scattered Rows Above the Garages
About 40 buses stand in loose rows above two purple garages on the bottom edge. Most of the upright buses point up toward the road, with short sideways buses mixed between them. Each garage has a counter reading 4, and a bus stands in front of it, with another bus waiting in the lane between the two garages.
This row is the VIP spot plus seven grey ones and no green spots, so there is more room than on many levels. Your colors can differ from the screenshots, but the order of taps goes by position, so it works with any colors.
Bottom Garages Step by Step
-
Free the upper edge. Start with the buses at the top whose arrows point up at open road. Three buses are in the row after the first taps, with 4, 24 and 16 passengers. The garages at the bottom still read 4 and 4, and nothing has come out of them.
Video solution for level 259
The clip below follows the classic layout of level 259, the one with the garages on the bottom edge, from the first bus to the last. Watch it if your lot looks like that.
-
Pick short buses. The row holds three buses with 16, 10 and 12 passengers. These are small loads, so the grey spots turn over quickly. Keep taking short buses from the upper rows while the long ones in the middle wait.
-
Open the middle. The upper half of the lot is almost empty and four buses are parked, with 20, 4, 12 and 12 passengers. A few buses stand in the corners, and a column of upright buses leads down toward the garages.
-
Start the left garage. The bus in front of the left garage leaves and its counter reads 3. Six buses are parked at once, so the row is close to full, and the right garage still reads 4. Wait for a bus to reach zero before sending the next garage bus.
-
Run the right garage. Now the right garage runs: its counter falls to 1, while the left one stays at 3. The row holds four buses, with 32, 4, 24 and 12 passengers. A long bus with 32 passengers is parked, so watch the spot count.
-
Finish the bottom row. The right garage reads 0 and the left one reads 3. Three buses are parked, with 4, 20 and 12 passengers. Two buses remain at the top left, and three stand near the garages. Send them in the order the queue calls and the lot is clear.
Garages on the Left Edge
Two purple garages lie sideways on the left edge, one above the other, both pointing to the right. Each starts at 4 and has a bus in front of it. About 40 buses are scattered over the rest of the lot, with long buses at angles in the middle and short ones in loose groups around them.
Here the row offers the VIP spot and four grey spots, plus three green extras. Later in the run the green spots are in use, with up to seven buses parked at the same time. Parked buses carry 4, 12, 13, 16, 20, 24 and 40 passengers.
Left Garages Step by Step
-
Take the free buses. Start with the short buses at the right edge and the top that point at open road. One bus parks with dust still in the air, and the garage counters have not moved from 4. Keep the row light for now.
-
Bring in a short trio. Three buses are parked, carrying 16, 4 and 12 passengers. Those are small loads, so the grey spots turn over quickly. Keep tapping buses from the edges while the long ones in the middle stay put.
-
Thin the right half. The right half of the lot is almost empty. Four buses are parked, with 4, 12, 4 and 24 passengers. The garages still read 4 and 4, so the long buses in the middle and the garage lanes are what remain.
-
Open the top garage. The bus in front of the upper garage leaves and its counter drops to 3. Six buses are parked now, including ones with 16 and 20 passengers, so the row is close to full. Wait for a bus to reach zero before the next garage bus.
-
Keep the row from jamming. The upper garage reads 2 and the lower one still reads 4. Six buses are parked, with 4, 12, 20 and 40 passengers among them, and another is arriving. Long buses are slow here, so tap nothing new until a spot opens.
-
Send the last few. About five buses remain in the lot, plus the garage with a bus in front of it, and the row holds several buses with 40 and 20 passengers. Send the loose buses first, then finish the garages one bus at a time as the queue calls them.
What Stalls Level 259
In the bottom-garage lot, runs stop when the row fills with buses that the queue is not calling and the garages keep feeding new ones. Every time the bus in front of a garage drives off, the next one rolls out and needs a spot, so two garages with counters of 4 can add eight buses to a row that already holds long ones. Late in the run, buses of 32 passengers sit in the row, and one of them blocks a spot for a long time. In the left-garage lot, the same trap is stronger because the row has only four grey spots at the start. Count the free spots before each tap, leave the garages alone until the loose buses are mostly gone, and when the row is full, stop and let a bus reach zero. If nothing fits, the Out of Spots window offers to clear the row and unlock an extra spot for coins or an ad, with a Restart link below.
The second trap is the middle of the lot. On the left-garage layout the long buses stand at angles there and block the short ones around them. Take the buses at the edges first, and tap a long one only when its color is next in line.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does level 259 look different for different players?
There are two layouts of level 259 in the game right now. In one, the two purple garages stand on the bottom edge and the waiting row has seven grey spots; in the other, they lie sideways on the left edge and the row has four grey and three green spots. Both use the same garage rules.
How do the purple garages work on level 259?
Each garage has a counter with the number of buses still inside, and on this level both counters start at 4. Each time the front bus of a garage drives off, another one rolls out and the number falls by one. A garage at 0 gives no more buses.
Which buses go first on level 259?
The short buses at the edges of the lot whose arrows point at open road. In the bottom-garage lot those are the buses in the upper rows; in the left-garage lot they are the short buses on the right side. Leave the garages for later so that the grey spots stay free.
How many waiting spots does level 259 have?
That depends on the lot. With the garages at the bottom you get the VIP spot and seven grey spots. With them on the left you get the VIP spot, four grey spots and three green extras marked with a plus. Check your own row and plan how many long buses it can hold.
Can I beat level 259 without boosters?
Yes, in both layouts. VIP, Arrange and Jumble sit at the bottom of the screen, but the run is decided by order: loose buses first, garages one bus at a time, and one spot left open for the next color the queue calls.
