Nixon, working on the railroad, hammers gov for subway woes

CYNTHIA NIXON put Gov. Cuomo’s handling of the subway system up in lights Thursday morning.

Standing in front of a lighted sign that said “#CuomosMTA,” Nixon greeted rush hour commuters on a packed uptown L train platform in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and attacked the governor’s handling of the transit system.

“I’m running for governor, and I will fix the subway,” Nixon said on the platform.

“The L train is mightily delayed again as it is almost every day,” Nixon said.

“We have the worst on-time record of any major transit system in the world,” she continued. “Delays have tripled over the last five years. Subway speeds are slower than they were in 1950.”

Nixon, the former “Sex and the City” star, has made the poor state of the MTA a focal point of her campaign against Cuomo for the Democratic nomination for governor.

“New York State needs a governor who is really going to prioritize fixing the trains,” Nixon said.

“If there is one issue people come up to me (and talk about) when I’m on the street, it is about how mad they are, how frustrated and how it’s wrecking their lives,” she continued. “It’s making them late to work, it’s making them late to school.”

Nixon said the MTA has lost transit workers because of Cuomo’s “mismanagement” of the system, which affects things like signal repairs.

“Cuomo has let costs balloon out of control, and we just have less people to do inspections of cars and do inspections of signals,” she said.

A Cuomo campaign spokeswoman pushed back against Nixon’s claims and took a swipe at Mayor de Blasio over his initial refusal to fund an emergency subway repair plan created last year by MTA boss Joe Lhota.

“Actors are trained to make fiction sound believable and this morning’s performance was more of the same,” spokeswoman Lis Smith said. “We share Ms. Nixon’s frustration with the delay of much needed subway repairs — she should call her friend the mayor and ask why he refused to fully fund the subway action plan for nearly a year.”

Nixon shook hands and shared commuters’ frustrations for about an hour.

One straphanger, Katie Pawluk, 41, of Williamsburg, stopped with her 5-year-old twins and 9-year-old son to talk with Nixon about her daily school-bound commute to the East Village:

“I take the train from this station every morning and it’s like this every single morning,” she said, noting that her tiny twins are “always getting pushed out of the way.”

“It’s a nightmare,” Nixon said, nodding. “I try and take it after I drop (my son) Max off, and I often have to let three of them pass before I can get on.”

“We’ve got to invest in our trains,” she added. “We’ve got to make them work.”
