Two straphangers have learned the hard way that the NYPD certainly isn’t “fixing” tickets for petty subway offenses.

Phillip Williams, 20, was heading home to Queens on a J train late June 7 when officers on the Crescent Street platform spotted him through the window with his feet on a seat and came aboard to bust him.

“The train was, like, half-empty,” the furious student said after getting hit with a $50 ticket for hogging an extra seat. “A warning would have been more appropriate.”

“I don’t understand why I should have to pay,” he said.

Two days later, Jay Reisberg, 64, of Manhattan, was walking through the cars on an F train as it was stopped in the Union Square station when two officers halted him.

As the officers were preparing a $75 ticket, they ordered him to take his hands out of his pockets, Reisberg said.

He didn’t, he said, because “I felt intimidated. I wasn’t doing it to be defiant. It’s my personal habit.”

“They handled me like I was up for murder. I’m 64 years old, couldn’t they see I am a harmless man?”

Before he knew it, he was slapped with another ticket — this time for $50, for defying their order.
