The kind of work that they are doing means that they have to repeatedly tear out the same place, then patch for traffic again, etc.

This generally means temporary patches that aren't great, then when ALL the work is done, they go back and redo the whole area more permanently.

All newer trains have automatic passenger counters at each door. But Transit also still has data collectors to do counts until all the trains have that technology.
