There's a Trader Joe's near me that constantly has a broken escalator. Last year it was down for months. I asked an employee one day and they said the service company couldn't get parts.

Same story with a movie theatre elevator a few years ago.

Ok.. well then maybe don't start the escalator replacement in a busy station until you have all the parts needed in a warehouse. It was planned work, they had notices up months ahead of time. Did they not know what components go into the replacement escalator? Don't think supply chain issues are a valid excuse right now.
