Republican mayoral candidate Nicole Malliotakis suggested that New York City could help the state-run subways by diverting rainy-day money the de Blasio administration has stocked away.

Malliotakis, who said she would accede to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s demand for half of an $800 million interim repair plan, criticized incumbent Bill de Blasio for failing to contribute enough to the ailing subway system.

Criticizing de Blasio for increasing spending every year since taking office in 2014, however, the subway deteriorates on a daily bases.

Nicole Gelinas, a senior fellow at the right-leaning Manhattan Institute, said the city has about $2 billion in reserves.

Two Million New Yorkers are inconvenient on a daily basis, spending more time in the subway system than being at home with their families. Time for a change.
