The MTA plans to bring out the big guns — including executives from its headquarters — to physically try to block fare-beaters at subway turnstiles and on buses, officials said Monday.

Faced with an estimated $215 million in lost revenue this year alone because of scofflaws, New York City Transit President Andy Byford said executives from his agency’s “head office” will go to various subway stations and bus stops to create body blockades to bar anyone trying to get in without a Metrocard.

The blockades will be backed up by cops, Byford added to the MTA board.

“We will get teams of people from the head office to, on a random basis, go and either ride buses or stand at gate arrays and provide a physical block to make sure that you have a ticket before you go into that station or onto that bus,” Byford said. “We will, of course, have [additional MTA] teams or police to back us up.”

Byford also plans to add more video surveillance in subway stations and will ask cops to increase their presence in the system.

He is working with the NYPD to assign cops to specific stations so they get to know the fare-beating patterns, he said.

“They know what goes on in their individual stations, they know where the fare evasion is happening, they know who the regular offenders are, and that allows us to take more regular enforcement action,” Byford said.

Fare-beating will have cost the MTA about $215 million in 2018: $96 million in the subways and $119 million for the buses, the agency said. About 16 percent of bus riders don’t pay the fare, while about 4 percent of subway riders skip the turnstiles, Byford said.

The problem has skyrocketed in recent years, he said.

Loses from fare-beating have jumped by $110 million since 2015, he said.

Staten Island and the Bronx are the worst boroughs for fare-beating, Byford said.

Some board members expressed concern that the increased enforcement could especially target people of color.

“I want to see equity here,” said board member David Jones. “I want to make sure this is not race-based.”

Earlier this year, Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. announced he would no longer prosecute fare evaders criminally — which Byford said has led to increased fare evasion.
