About Bus Jam
Bus Jam is a color-matching puzzle by Playgama that runs two problems on a single screen. The lower part is a crowded car park of cars, vans and buses. Each one is painted a color and points in a direction, and tapping it sends it out along that line unless something is parked in its path. The upper part is a line of passengers grouped in blocks of color. A vehicle that gets out pulls into a bay and loads the passengers of its own color.
The pressure comes from the bays. There are only a few, and a bay leaves only once it is full. Free the wrong vehicle and a bay sits there holding seats for passengers who are not at the front of the line. Clear the whole queue before the bays clog and you win the level.
Levels are generated, so there is no final one. The lot comes in ten layouts, including rows, rings, herringbone, spiral and sunburst, and the setting moves through thirteen worlds, changing every five levels, with City Park and Snow Town among them. Coins pay for extra bays and three boosters: VIP removes any vehicle, Arrange sorts the queue and Jumble reshuffles it. Extras include a weekly win event, a daily chest, a login reward that runs for seven days, a VIP pass that doubles coins and a set of lifetime awards. It works in either screen orientation and plays in the browser with no download.

How to play Bus Jam
Free colored vehicles from a packed car park so they can pick up the matching passengers before your loading bays fill up.
Look at the car park at the bottom of the screen. Every vehicle has a color and an arrow showing which way it will drive.
Tap a vehicle to send it out along its arrow. If another vehicle blocks the route, it bumps, honks and stays put.
A freed vehicle parks in a bay and collects the waiting passengers that share its color.
Keep choosing vehicles so each bay fills and departs. A bay does not leave until it is full.
Empty the passenger queue before all your bays are stuck to win the level.
Tips and strategy
- Check the front of the queue before you tap. Releasing a color nobody is waiting for ties up a bay for nothing.
- Trace each arrow to the edge of the lot first. A blocked vehicle will not move, so work out what has to leave ahead of it.
- You only have a few bays, so try to keep one free as a safety margin.
- Spend coins on extra bays if a run of levels keeps ending with every bay stuck.
- Hold the VIP booster for a vehicle that is buried deep, since it can pull any vehicle straight out.
Frequently asked questions
Why will a vehicle not move in Bus Jam?
A vehicle can only drive out along its arrow. If something is parked in that path it just bumps and honks, so you need to clear the blocker first.
How do you lose a level in Bus Jam?
Bays depart only once they are full, and you have a limited number of them. If they all fill with vehicles that cannot finish loading before the queue is cleared, the level is lost.
What do the boosters do in Bus Jam?
VIP pulls any vehicle straight out of the lot, Arrange re-sorts the passenger queue and Jumble reshuffles it. Coins buy boosters and extra bays.
