A New York City Transit employee was busted Friday morning for soliciting a prostitute in Queens, police said.

Pedro Almeyda, 44, was arrested around 1:30 a.m. after approaching someone he thought was a prostitute in the area of Roosevelt Avenue and 85th Street, asking if he could pay $40 to receive oral sex, cop sources said.

It turned out the prostitute was actually an undercover police officer who was taking part in an undercover NYPD operation called the “Losing Proposition,” sources said.

Almeyda — who works as a conductor, according to SeeThroughNY.net — was charged with patronizing a prostitute. He was issued a desk appearance ticket and is due back in court on Aug. 28.

The MTA said it was reviewing the incident, which a spokesperson noted happened while Almeyda was off-duty.

“Each case is evaluated based on the facts and one of the elements that we look at is whether the behavior has any nexus to the employee’s job responsibilities,” the spokesperson, Shams Tarek, told the Post.
