Crowded can refer to a room full of people / a bus full of people

Busy can never refer a room full of people

English (US)

1) I am busy = tengo mucho que hacer; crowded no aplica

2) crowded tiene una implicación más negativa;

How is business? It's OK but this location is way too crowded, everybody is pissed off because they can barely move. We need to find somewhere with more space.

En cambio:
How is business? Oh, it's great! It's been really busy all day!

@GregT ok I understand that meaning of busy, but what about "In summer, the bars on this strip are busy" "the coffee shop is always busy in Saturday mornings". They are about lively, with many people"

So when Should I use crowded or busy to talk about a lot of People in a place?
