Transit chief: Blas in no rush to meet me

He’s the man with the $37 billion plan to fix the city’s reeling subway system — but New York City Transit chief Andy Byford still can’t get a meeting with the mayor.

Byford said he hasn’t heard from Mayor de Blasio since he took charge of the city’s subways and buses in January, despite his agency saying it has been reaching out to City Hall for months.

“Bit weird,” Byford told The New Yorker magazine of Hizzoner’s less-than-warm welcome. “I should ring him up.”

After the article’s release Monday, City Hall quickly announced a July 10 meeting between de Blasio and Byford.

Mayoral spokesman Eric Phillips denied any rift between the two, blaming the meeting delay on full schedules.

“It’s not that deep,” Phillips said. “We’ve been working on the schedule for the meeting for a while.”

Phillips added that administration higher-ups regularly speak with the New York City Transit head.

The MTA said it had been trying to set up a meeting between Byford and Hizzoner.

“We had reached out to City Hall over the last few months,” said MTA spokesman Jon Weinstein. “Andy looks forward to the [July 10] meeting.”

The long-delayed meeting comes as Byford tries to rally support to make his proposed subway-system overhaul — rumored to cost an estimated $37 billion, according to sources — a reality.
