## What is Busy Bays?

Hundreds of riders circle the station, the lot is packed with buses, and there are only a few loading bays. Tap a bus with a clear road, send it to a bay, and watch its color pour aboard. Pick the wrong buses and the bays jam.

HOW IT WORKS
Every bus points one way. If nothing is in front of it, it drives out of the lot to a free loading bay. Riders walk round the station's loop, and those passing the gate board any parked bus of their color. A full bus honks and leaves, freeing its bay, while more riders stream in from both sides. Fill all the bays with buses nobody is waiting for and the level is lost.

A PUZZLE, NOT A GUESS
Every level is built to be winnable with the bays it gives you. Watch the loop to see which colors are coming, then choose the order: which bus to free first, which to leave buried, and when to hold a bay open.

BIG LEVELS, NEVER THE SAME
• Hundreds of riders and dozens of buses in every level
• Stations that change shape: bowls, twin gardens and funnels take turns with the classic loop
• Pile-ups: buses jammed at every angle in a round lot. Each drives straight the way it faces, so read the pile before you tap
• Picture lots, where the parked buses form a picture
• Mystery buses that hide their color until their road is clear
• Coach depots full of 10-seat coaches, tight squeezes with only three bays, and rush hours where the crowd arrives in small groups
• Hard levels and bosses marked before you start, with a breather after each

BOOSTERS FOR TIGHT SPOTS
• Extra Bay: open one more loading bay
• Smart Shuffle: recolor the buses that can leave to match the waiting riders
• Airlift: lift any bus, even a buried one, straight to a bay

NO LIVES, NO WAITING
Lose a level and try again right away. As you progress, more opens up:
• A new daily challenge every day
• Weekly events with their own rewards
• Bus Race: race four rivals to be first to win five levels
• Win streaks that pay extra and, from level 20, start normal levels with a free bay
• Bus skins to collect in your Garage
• Game Center achievements and a leaderboard

AND ALSO
• Riders who hop when their bus arrives, cheer your combos and get nervous when the bays run low
• Combos for sending buses off in quick succession
• A daily reward that builds to a jackpot on day seven
• A piggy bank that fills as you win
• Share your toughest wins with friends
• Made for iPhone and iPad

Busy Bays is free to play. It includes optional in-app purchases and ads; buy No Ads to remove the ads between levels.
