+We get our busyness signal from BestTime. When BestTime detects enough current foot-traffic at a venue, the reading is LIVE — what's actually happening now.
+When traffic is too light for a live read, BestTime falls back to what the venue is typically like at this hour of the week. We now label that clearly as ~ TYPICAL instead of pretending it's live.
+Most of our venues are small enough that BestTime can't sample them live most of the time. Expect to see TYPICAL more often than LIVE — and trust the LIVE label more when you do see it.
