Yes, that was the unintended solution. I’ve left some hints below.
Hint 1
There is still the restraint of needing to use a chain to reach the rightmost passenger, so the solution still uses a lot of the same steps. The biggest issue is finding a way to get the top middle passenger without making it impossible to build the final chain.
Hint 2
Since the breakable tile only lets you push a passenger onto the protruding sidewalk tile once, you need to find a way to get the top middle passenger while leaving something behind on the protruding tile.
Hint 3
Keep in mind that the breakable tile only prevents you from pushing onto the protruding sidewalk tile, not any others. The limited seating capacity plays an important role.
Ah, thanks for the reply and hints! I think just knowing there's another solution was enough to clear my brain and finally get it. Had a great time playing this!
