The MTA will vote on yet another capital budget next week — and this
time, it will be a bit more robust.

The agency, buoyed by getting $1 billion more in the state budget than
it expected, presented a new plan to board members Friday. They’ll
vote on it Wednesday.

The $26 billion budget will include all the bells and whistles that
Gov. Cuomo announced in January but weren’t actually in the capital
plan at the time. They include renovating 31 stations, USB charging
stations in subways and buses, and Wi-Fi in underground stops.

The windfall makes the Second Avenue Subway more secure and gives the
MTA “a bit more to play with,’’ said an official.
