Gov. Andrew Cuomo and transit officials this week revealed plans to redesign subway emergency exit gates as part of a larger effort to crack down on fare-beaters – after recently installing a new easy-to-hop version that has made evasion simpler than ever.

Standing alongside Cuomo as the governor announced beefed-up police forces to combat fare-beaters Monday, Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance said his office would give $40 million to the MTA for other deterrence tactics including “increased gate heights and design of turnstile and other apparatuses.”

But the announcement comes after Cuomo already ordered the MTA to temporarily shutter and remodel 19 stations in 2017 and 2018, which included replacing the subway’s classic clunky emergency exits — which extend from floor to ceiling — with shorter, fence-like gates.

Fare-beaters can easily stick their hands over the new emergency exit and let themselves in, and The Post observed dozens doing just that right after the press conference Monday — with MTA staff struggling to stop them.

“It’s easier to get through the door. You don’t have to be Stretch Armstrong to get your arm over the gate,” said straphanger Lawrence Ellison, 41. “Put your hand over, hit the bar, open the door for anybody, everybody.”

One rider on the Upper West Side pulled the door open for himself then beckoned a reporter to follow suit.

“You see – it’s easy,” said Ty Quincy, 40, who claimed it was his first time evading a fare – because his unlimited MetroCard had just run out.

At Penn Station on Tuesday, one of the new exit doors hung wide open due to a broken lock. In the course of 15 minutes before MTA personnel noticed the problem, more than two dozen farebeaters walked through the gate.

Speaking alongside the governor on Monday, MTA Chairman Pat Foye denied the gates were a problem and deflected by arguing that “turnstile designs” weren’t changed during the renovations.

The MTA did not return a request for comment.
