Bus Rush Fever! Level 146 Walkthrough

hard 7 colors

Bus Rush Fever! Level 146 is a wide scatter that runs longer than it looks. Clear one row or pocket fully, send only what the loop can seat, and step to the next, and the broad board comes apart without the slots clogging.

Board Notes

Layout: Level 146 opens as a wide scatter spread across the whole lot, with more buses than the quick boards. Green, purple, blue, red, orange, pink, and yellow buses sit in several loose rows and pockets, and the solve runs longer than the layout first suggests.
Goal: The real target is each row and pocket in turn over a longer solve. The board is broad rather than dense, so the work is draining one area fully before moving to the next.
Opening: The walkthrough clears the pocket whose colors already have passengers waiting, then steps to the next reachable area. It keeps the dispatch focused across the wide spread.
Danger Zone: The danger is scattering moves across the whole wide board. Touch every pocket a little and none drains, while the slots fill with a mix the loop cannot seat over a long run.
Mechanics: Level 146 is a wide longer scatter. Like the earlier broad fields, it rewards clearing one area at a time, but its length makes slot discipline matter even more.
