Note
The spelling follows the regular rule for a two-syllable adjective ending in consonant plus y: the y turns to i before -er, as in happier and tidier. Every adjectival meaning of busy compares this way, from a busier station or a busier week to a busier, more intricate pattern. It often stands without than, as in at busier times. More busy also occurs but is far less common.
