The Metropolitan Transit Authority has rolled out its latest effort to combat fare evasion — this time installing spikes on turnstiles.

The Post spotted workers installing the aggressive-looking apparatus Wednesday along the turnstile handrails at the 59th Street/Lexington Avenue stop, which services the N, R, W, 4, 5 and 6 lines.

The pointy panels would make it hurt for people attempting to skip the toll by using the handrails to lift themselves over the turnstiles. But they don’t address a hack used on old gates of pulling on the turnstiles enough to slip through, or of climbing over or under them.
