Videos allegedly captured a New York City subway operator allowing minors to take an aboveground train out on an illegal joyride — in a stunt transit leaders blasted as “reckless.”

Two clips posted to social media allegedly show the same subway operator allowing children to man an MTA train in broad daylight.

“Go, go, go, go, it’s green,” the transit worker said to a boy as he approached an empty platform on a J train at 111th Street in Queens.

The boy is then seen honking the train’s horn as the next station is announced on the loudspeaker.

A separate clip showed what appeared to be a different young boy in a safety vest operating another aboveground train.

The transit worker appeared to be on his phone and holding a cup of coffee as the young boy cruised down the tracks.

It’s unclear when the clips were taken or who originally circulated them online, but the user who reposted them, Atunyc, said it was recent footage.

MTA officials slammed the dangerous jaunt.

“What appears on those videos is reckless and unacceptable, and any transit worker who permits unauthorized, untrained people to operate trains will face consequences, including termination of employment and prosecution to the extent allowed by law,” NYC Transit President Demetrius Crichlow said in a statement to The Post.

Minors have previously been busted for taking empty subway trains out for a spin.

Two teen boys were arrested in February for allegedly taking an empty subway train on a joyride through Brooklyn, cops and sources said.

The teens, ages 15 and 17, were separately nabbed on warrants after someone ratted them out in connection to the Jan. 25 escapade on board an R train at 36th Street in Sunset Park, law enforcement sources said.

Last January, a group of reckless youngsters also found their way onto two empty Queens train cars and took them for a brief spin, authorities said.

The suspects – all of whom appeared to be teens – entered the lead train cars that parked in a location about 1,500 feet north of the Forest Hills-71st Avenue subway station, cops said.
