Indeed, although “bare bones” might be a better way to describe it.

I actually don't mind our system, it's light weight, reasonable for a city like ours. I think massive underground stations would have been unnecessarily expensive and worse for users in most ways.

What does bug me about our system is the bad design of the components, which could easily have happened in a more expensive system. Most of our actual bad choices were not related to cost.
