It was not budget issues that lead to the lack of entrances. Some of the project team were ideologically opposed to what they called "octopus stations" - stations with multiple entrances. This was a design mandate from the early days of the project, long before they were trying to penny pinch. Time to ensure that this does not happen with the Broadway Line.
