The Post finds the worst, worst, worst commuting nightmare — 67th and Madison to Cambria Heights in Queens, a total of 16 miles:

After eight hours on his feet yesterday working the overnight shift at a Madison Avenue building, a weary Andy Frederick had to walk home.

And walk, and walk, and walk.

The train that normally carried him in to Manhattan from his Cambria Heights home 16 miles away was out of commission by the time Frederick’s work day ended at 8 a.m., leaving the security guard with just two modes of transportation for his long commute — his left shoe and his right shoe.

“The cabs won’t come out to the outer boroughs,” said Frederick, who hoofed from Madison Avenue and East 67th Street to the 59th Street Bridge, then walked across nearly the entire borough of Queens. “You can walk or run.”

Not only did Frederick have to battle the wind and bitter cold that blasted him along the bridge, but he had to fight traffic. He was trying to get out of the city while everybody else was trying to get in.

But Frederick, 45, had a strategy for the distance and the cold.

“I run until I get winded,” he said, “and then I walk.”
