To beat Party Level 106 in Bus Fever! Car Jam Escape, clear unobstructed perimeter buses that match the front of the passenger queue first, preserve at least one empty pickup bay, and only pull the horizontal center roadblock vehicle once its matching color line is ready to board.
Level 106 Layout and Bottlenecks
Party Level 106 confines multiple medium and long buses behind horizontal roadblock vehicles in the center lane and perimeter barriers along the edges. Vehicles require a direct, unobstructed path to reach the loading terminal. If a bus is angled toward a concrete barrier or blocked by a perpendicular bumper, it cannot move.
The primary obstacle is a horizontally parked bus wedged across the upper-middle sector. Moving vehicles out of order traps subsequent buses and fills the terminal bays with stranded vehicles that cannot board waiting passengers. You must identify the "key vehicle"—the single bus with an open exit line—and verify that its color matches the current front of the queue before tapping it.
Passenger Queue and Bay Rules
Passengers arrive in a fixed sequence, commonly alternating among colors such as blue, red, green, and yellow. A bus sent to the terminal occupies an active bay until it completely fills its seats and departs.
To prevent an irreversible lockout:
- Check the front line: Inspect the first three to five passengers in queue before dispatching any bus.
- Match batch sizes: If a bus holds four passengers, confirm that four matching passengers are immediately reachable at the front of the line.
- Maintain a buffer bay: Keep at least one loading bay completely empty unless the incoming bus will fill immediately and exit.
- Avoid early unblocking: Never pull an unmatched bus purely to clear physical grid space if doing so clogs your final open loading bay.
Step-by-Step Routing Order
Follow this four-phase sequence to clear the board without locking the terminal:
| Phase | Focus | Core Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Outer Flank Clearance | Perimeter lanes | Route unobstructed edge buses that match the active front queue. |
| 2. Center Lock Release | Corridor bottleneck | Extract the horizontal pivot bus once its matching queue appears. |
| 3. Core Fleet Extraction | Central clusters | Dispatch interior buses in step with shifting passenger colors. |
| 4. Cleanup Sweep | Remaining vehicles | Send final high-capacity buses to collect trailing passengers. |
Begin with Phase 1 by clearing vehicles along the outer edges, where turning paths have fewer contact points. Freeing these edge spots creates the turning clearance required to access interior rows.
Once edge lanes are open, proceed to Phase 2. The central horizontal bus blocking the main transit corridor can now move. Confirm that passengers matching this vehicle's color are at the front of the queue, or ensure you have a free bay to hold it without stalling remaining traffic, before releasing it.
Recovering from Mid-Stage Stalls
If your bays become crowded and remaining board paths are blocked, stop tapping and evaluate the terminal:
- Find near-complete buses: Identify any bus in a loading bay that needs only one or two passengers to depart. Trace which vehicle on the board blocks those specific passengers and prioritize freeing it to regain that bay.
- Account for vehicle length: Long buses require wider clearance to navigate corners. If a smaller vehicle is blocking the exit angle of a longer bus, route the smaller vehicle first once its passenger queue aligns.

This helped me understand strategy much better.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Bus Fever! Car Jam Escape articles next.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
