Station agents, this is your wake-up call.
A Post reader spied yet another transit snorer dozing in his booth, and the paper has received a half-dozen similar reports yesterday from straphangers who didn’t have a camera handy.
“I can’t believe these guys are paid to sleep,” said Frank Donati, who spotted this agent taking a 7:45 a.m. nap last Friday at the Northern Boulevard station on the R line.
Wayne Wiggins, caught Sunday sleeping mid-afternoon at his booth, returns to work today. And though transit and union officials told The Post he’s entitled to due process, given the photographic evidence, they say this will probably be an open and shut-eye case.
“Rip van” Wiggins, who earned nearly $77,000 last year, is the 17th highest-paid station agent in the system, according to payroll records. But he’s hardly a poster boy for the 3,400 agents who work in the subways, transit officials said.
He has a history of disciplinary citations, including at least one “dereliction of duty” for a previous siesta, MTA sources said.
His own son was disappointed but not surprised, telling The Post on Tuesday, “I thought he learned his lesson.”
Wiggins declined comment yesterday.
