The head of the MTA’s subway and city bus divisions ripped former Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday for flip-flopping on congestion pricing, saying, “I would love to introduce the Andrew Cuomo of 2019 to the Andrew Cuomo of today.”

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority chief, Rich Davey, noted Cuomo — who said last week that more study needs to be done on Manhattan congestion tolls — actually approved the law himself.

“I think he was right four years ago,” Davey told reporters at MTA headquarters.

Cuomo led the charge for the start of congestion pricing in Manhattan when he was in office in 2019. Now a $15 toll is set to be implemented in the borough as soon as May.

The aim is to discourage people from driving into heavily congested Midtown south of 60th Street — and to use the toll proceeds from those who do to pay for major improvements to MTA subways, buses and railroads.

But Cuomo told Channel 5’s “Good Day New York” last week that “there’s been a change in circumstance” since 2019 that warrants another look at the move.

He said that since 2019, there was COVID, which led to a burgeoning work-from-home scene and kept people from the city. That lingering effect, plus ongoing migrant, homeless and crime issues, have only helped keep people away.

The city doesn’t need to give people yet another reason — the congestion toll — to stay away, Cuomo said, calling for a study to see if that would in fact be the case.

” ‘I don’t want to pay a higher toll to drive into New York City that has high crime, that has homelessness. I’ll stay home,’ ” the former governor said during the interview, referring to would-be drivers.

Still, many of the problems Cuomo cited festered during the decade-plus he spent as the most powerful person in the state, including pre-2019, and were among the regular criticisms that he leveled at then-New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

A Cuomo spokesman fired back at Davey in an e-mailed statement to The Post.

“We know Mr. Davies is new to New York, but New York today is much different than the New York four years ago having lost over 500,000 people, and a still stubbornly high commercial vacancy rate and that’s why Governor Cuomo said the responsible thing to do is analyze the impact dramatically increased tolls would take, and whether it would in fact be a net benefit,” the rep said.

Davey has been in his top role with the MTA for nearly two years.

Congestion pricing — and before that, tolling the East River bridges — had been floated as one way to fund the MTA for years.

Cuomo and de Blasio agreed on tolling drivers in 2019 as a key way to finance then-New York City transit chief Andy Byford’s $37 billion to $40 billion program to overhaul the subways.

Cuomo resigned in disgrace in 2021 during a sex-harassment scandal. He has denied any allegations of wrong-doing.
