Yes. It comes straight from CBP (Border Wait Times), the same source each port of entry publishes. We sync it every few minutes and relay it as-is: every card carries the stamp of its last reading, and if CBP goes quiet for a while we flag it in amber with that hour's typical wait instead of making a number up.
